Arsenal have suffered a big injury blow ahead of the Premier League clash against Fulham at the Emirates Stadium this weekend, according to The Sun.
The Gunners have picked up several untimely injuries in the ongoing campaign, and it appears Martin Odegaard could be doubtful for the London derby on Saturday evening.
The club captain has sustained multiple knee niggles this year. He picked up another during the 1-1 draw against Atletico in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final last night.
Odegaard’s substitution was considered tactical during the game but The Sun claim that the Norwegian sustained a fresh knee issue which contributed to him being brought off the pitch.
If he is sidelined, Eberechi Eze could continue as the attacking midfielder for the Gunners. The Englishman scored a belter from outside the box against Newcastle United last weekend.
The former Crystal Palace man may have another big role to play against the Cottagers. Arsenal can go six points clear of Manchester City at the top of the league by beating Marco Silva‘s side.
