Martin Odegaard faces injury doubt for Norway following ankle injury

Norway captain and Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard is a doubt for upcoming Nations League fixtures following an ankle injury sustained during a match against Portugal. The injury occurred after a challenge from Bernardo Silva, which Odegaard described as a tackle that ‘doesn't belong on a football field’.

Odegaard was unable to participate in Norway's training session on Tuesday due to persistent pain. While Norway manager Stale Solbakken noted that the player's condition appeared better than the previous day, Odegaard was not seen in squad photos upon the team's arrival in Wales.

Medical staff from the Norwegian national team are maintaining continuous contact with Arsenal to monitor his recovery. His availability for the match against Wales remains uncertain, as does his participation in the subsequent game against Portugal.
