Set to miss Norway matches in October. Smart decision.

Good. I hope we’re looking to have him return right after the break, maybe play a bit against Bournemouth, and be fit and ready for the Liverpool, Newcastle, Inter, Chelsea run of matches.

Who are you imagining is going to be disappointed by that? Pretty much everyone would see it’s in the best interest of the player.
i was saying as regards the national team…fed up with these meaningless matches screwing up our players.

Doubt very much Norway would object. It’s not in their interest for him to have a recurrence of a relatively serious injury. Nobody is in conflict here.
it was more of aaawww such a shame he is missing those games oh well

I suppose it’s bad for Odegaard as he’d want to play them.

Take your time recovering brother, we’ve got you covered.
Yep.
There are some visible benefits in playing this kind of formation atm.
We are obviously much more direct than usual.
I’m thinking now, whether we should stick to a 2 man midfield with Rice and Merino/Partey when Odegaard gets back, and play him in a number 10 role with more freedom than usual.
We have options.
Also it’s starting to get more clear how Arteta always had a plan of how we’d cope if Odegaard got injured.
I was very worried about our creative threat without Odegaard present. Seems like Trossard has more than made up for his absence and then some.
He scores & assists for fun now.
Wish he was 3-4 years younger.
He’s the perfect age. If he were younger, Ethan would have been blocked.
Sounds positive

Seems he’s quite close to joining the training.
Really nice to hear that but I hope they take their time since we’re doing fine atm and knowing it’s so easy to renew these kind of injuries if they don’t heal properly.

Who is at the perfect age to not block Max Bowman
Max “The Beast” Bowman.
Rumours he had a setback and will be out until December?
