Martin Odegaard sickness revealed after Norway win vs Wales

Norway manager Stale Solbakken has revealed that Arsenal star Martin Odegaard was sick in the lead-up to Saturday's Nations League game against Wales.

Norway returned to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Wales in Oslo yesterday. Odegaard started the game as the captain, and he played more than 90 minutes before his late substitution.

Speaking after the game, Solbakken revealed that Odegaard had been vomiting the previous night and made a tremendous recovery to start against Wales in a crunch match for his country.

Odegaard was not at his vintage best on the night, but he still created three chances for his teammates and had one brilliant shot saved by the goalkeeper.

Norway need to beat Denmark on Tuesday night to make the Nations League quarter-final and we can fully expect Odegaard to make the starting XI for them.

Odegaard left the stadium without attending the presser yesterday and it was highlighted that was primarily done to avoid any infection spreading to his teammates.
