Arsenal star Martin Odegaard is expected to miss at least one month of action due to his knee injury, according to recent reports.
The midfielder has been suffering from plenty of fitness concerns over the early months of the season, contributing to a stop-start feeling for him.
Two shoulder injuries plagued the Arsenal captain early on, with an awkward fall leaving him out of action.
When he returned, that only led to further issues; this time, Odegaard picked up a knee injury against West Ham, following a clash in the midfield.
Arsenal confirmed it was an MCL injury, one where the full extent of the issue wasn’t known, until now.

Martin Odegaard expected to be out until November due to injury
Martin Odegaard’s injury troubles have brought about plenty of concerns surrounding when he could be available again.
According to the BBC, the Norway international isn’t expected to return until after the November international break.
That means he is set to miss seven games for the Gunners, which includes clashes in the Premier League, Champions League and Carabao Cup.

Beyond that, there is the North London Derby on the game after the international break, one that Arsenal will be fired up for.
