Arteta has not ruled out Odegaard's availability for the match against Tottenham

National team matches have brought disappointing news for Arsenal fans. Their leader Martin Odegaard has picked up an injury against Norway, which could turn into the player's absence in the head-to-head match against Tottenham. But Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta is appealing for calm.

Details: The Canaries manager assures that it is too early to put a cross on Odegaard's participation in the match against Tottenham, as the Norwegian is yet to undergo tests:

Quote: ‘We have a few more tests to do, so we'll see what happens in the next day or so. We'll see what the extent of the injury is and how quickly we can get him back on track. He's very positive about everything. We know Martin, he wants to be out there every day, but we'll have to wait and see. His desire is not in doubt, because he wants to be present in every game and obviously in a big game like this,’ - quotes Arteta, The Irish Independent.

Recall: Earlier it was reported that Odegaard could miss up to three weeks and remain out of the squad not only for the game against Tottenham, but also for the first match in the Champions League.
