While he may be out for a few weeks, Arteta admits that Odegaard is pushing to return soon.
He told reporters: “We need some more tests. Let’s see what happens in the next day or so. This afternoon probably. Let’s see the extent of the injury and how quickly we can get him back. Martin wants to be here every day but we have to wait and see.
“I leave that to the doctor. He’s willing and he wants to be present in every game. We need to make sure we know first how good he is or not.
“Players with 48 hours are always available. Let’s see what happens.”
