Arsenal’s Martin Ødegaard Out for Six Weeks with Injury

Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes took a hit on May 19, 2025, as captain Martin Ødegaard was ruled out for six weeks due to an ankle injury sustained during a match against Tottenham. The Norwegian midfielder, pivotal to Arsenal’s attacking play, limped off in the first half of the 2-1 victory.

Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed the injury requires rest and rehabilitation, with Ødegaard expected to return in early July. “It’s a big blow, but we have depth in the squad,” Arteta said. Players like Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka will need to step up in Ødegaard’s absence as Arsenal face a tough run of fixtures.

Fans expressed concern on social media, with many hoping the team can maintain their momentum. Arsenal currently sit second in the Premier League, two points behind leaders Manchester City.
