Fans spot Erling Haaland's reaction to Martin Odegaard's injury as Man City face Arsenal this month

 

Erling Haaland’s reaction to Martin Odegaard’s injury has been captured.

A video has captured Erling Haaland’s reaction to Martin Odegaard’s injury for Norway and it speaks volumes.

Norway beat Austria 2-1 in their Nations League clash on Monday as Haaland grabbed his side’s winner.

Odegaard also started the international fixture, but he was forced off after the hour mark following a nasty-looking injury.

It comes as a huge blow to Mikel Arteta and fans alike as Arsenal resume their Premier League campaign on Sunday when they face cross-town rivals Tottenham.

What Odegaard did at the airport ahead of returning to the UK will massively worry fans.

He could not only miss the North London derby but also a huge clash against Manchester City.

The Gunners travel to the Etihad for a massive league fixture on September 22.

Haaland is expected to lead the line, and he could come up against his fellow countryman if he’s fit.

Even though they’ll be in opposite teams later this month, the Man City forward looked genuinely concerned for his international teammate when he limped off against Austria.

He helped Odegaard back to his feet and consoled him on two different occasions.

 

Norway head coach Stale Solbakken was asked about Odegaard as he gave a worrying update and even made an Arteta joke.

“Yes, it looked painful in the locker room too. I saw that he was sitting with the physiotherapists around him, but he had no chance to continue. And we know that it was an ankle sprain,” he said after the game.

“Yes, a sprain, and as those of who have played football know, with luck, it can turn out ok if the ligament aren’t torn. But I’m not really sure that Arteta will call me tonight to praise me.”

Odegaard has started Arsenal’s opening three league games this season, but he could be facing a spell on the sidelines depending on the severity of his ankle injury.
