ARSENAL ODEGAARD INJURY BLOW!

Arsenal star Martin Odegaard is set for a long injury absence after picking up ankle injury on international duty. How will Arsenal cope without him? Mark Goldbridge reacts to the latest football news.

[@ForzAchilles]

The season just started. Some players haven't even had a preseason and already having an international break? Players aren't fully fit, new signings haven't been integrated properly. Dumbest thing in football by far this break

[@user-bm4ux3og2d]

It has always been the same even in the 90s the will never change it just live with it injuries happen

[@helmy4328]

Couldn’t agree more. I honestly feel like they should have delayed the season a week or two just so players get more of a rest. Obviously we want to see football but we also want to see the best players in the country playing at their best level.

[@tredaviousbowser7931]

Football is about money. The federations, UEFA, FIFA, clubs, and players have all agreed to it. If players don’t like it then don’t play international football or use their collective voice to petition all these institutions. Yet their wallet speaks louder

They had VVD, Trent, Robbo, Macallister, Jones, Elliot, Konate, Alisson, Szobo ALL out for weeks/months. So, if they did not have 'bad.luck', they would have won the lot. (Arguabl).
