Martin Odegaard’s health report from MIKEL ARTETA was not good news for Arsenal fans.

The leader of the team had to leave the game against Aston Villa, which ended 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium.

With that loss, Manchester City now has the lead in the race for the Premier League title, taking it away from Arsenal.

Even worse, Odegaard got hurt during the game and Emile Smith Rowe came on in the 79th minute to replace him.

A short time after the player was taken off. Leon Bailey scored the first goal for the Villans, and Ollie Watkins finished the deal.

Arteta said that Odegaard was “unable to continue” after the game.

The boss also said that the Norwegian player “felt something” on the field.

Arteta didn’t say what kind of injury Odegaard had or if he was questionable for any future games.

If the player is out for a long time, it could be terrible for the rest of the Gunners’ season.

This week, Arsenal plays Bayern Munich in a very important second-leg Champions League match.

After a 2-2 draw at the Emirates last Tuesday, both teams are even going into this game.

Arsenal needs to win, but they might not be able to do so without Odegaard’s flair.

Arteta’s team also has six more Premier League games to play to catch Man City.

If the club wants to win its first title since 2003, it will have to hope that Pep Guadiola’s team makes a mistake along the way.

Odegaard has done well in all of this season’s games so far.

In his 41 games, the playmaker has scored 10 goals and set up 7 others.

Arteta was also criticized by fans after the game for three mistakes he made in defense against the Villans.
