The Standard reports that Martin Odegaard missed Norway training on Tuesday because of an ankle injury sustained against Portugal, leaving the Arsenal captain a doubt for Thursday’s trip to Wales. Norway’s medical staff are said to be in ongoing contact with Arsenal as they monitor his condition.
Stale Solbakken said updates are being passed to the club throughout the break, while assistant coach Brede Hangeland suggested Odegaard felt less pain than on Monday. Even so, he did not take part in the session and Norway will continue to assess him before deciding what role, if any, he can play in their next two fixtures.
What remains unconfirmed
- Whether Odegaard will be fit to face Wales.
- Whether he will play against Portugal on Sunday.
