Arsenal Captain Odegaard Calls for Players to Step Up Injury Crisis

Arsenal Captain Odegaard Calls for Players to Step Up Injury Crisis

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has motivated his teammates to meet the difficulties because of the extensive injury issues before their Premier League game against Leicester City at King Power Stadium. The Gunners experience difficulty protecting their title ambitions while multiple important players heal from their injuries.

During their Dubai training camp the London club lost their only available striker Kai Havertz after his hamstring injury sent him out for the entire season. Ethan Nwaneri together with Raheem Sterling and Leo Trossard now represent the only options available to Arsenal as front attackers for the upcoming matches. The upcoming match against Leicester City becomes increasingly challenging for Arsenal because they lack a primary striker as their defense stands strong. “We have to be on it. The team has experienced first-hand the opposition strength of these opponents. According to TNT Sports Odegaard stated we need to begin with strength because Leicester holds considerable playing ability. Playing against any opponent generates some type of pressure in every match. The injured players at our team need to show their potential now so we will maintain this approach.

The Arsenal team continues to suffer due to the injuries of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli until March and the season-long absence of Gabriel Jesus. After recovering from a November knee injury Ben White has joined the Arsenal match-day team as a reserve player. The gap Liverpool maintains in first place with Arsenal makes their pursuit of the league title since 2004 a challenging endeavor. A strong fighting spirit by Arsenal against Leicester City is essential to maintain their running place in the competition.
