Arsenal star has picked up another knee injury

Arsenal playmaker Martin Odegaard has reportedly sustained another knee injury during the Champions League meeting against Sporting CP on the road.

The Norwegian has endured an injury-plagued campaign with the Gunners and he has suffered yet another setback. It is claimed that the playmaker sustained a fresh knock to his knee during the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Sporting CP.

He managed to continue playing for a while, but reports claim that he is now expected to be sidelined for a while, and won't be available for the next couple of matches at the least.

His absence has coincided with the return of Eberechi Eze to training after a calf injury. The Englishman could be named in the matchday squad to face Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Arsenal host the Cherries at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, and a victory would take them 12 points clear of second-placed Manchester City, though the latter will have two games in hand.
