Odegaard Injured Again: Why Arsenal Captain Will Miss Champions League Match.

According to The Sun: This evening, the ARSENAL team will start their Champions League campaign by traveling to Spain for a match against Athletic Bilbao.

Last season, the 'Gunners' achieved the best result among English clubs in this prestigious European tournament.

Arsenal reached the semifinals, where they lost to future champions PSG.

The team hopes to repeat last season's success and win their first Champions League title.

In the domestic arena, the club has made a strong start, winning three of their first four Premier League matches, with their only loss coming against the reigning champions Liverpool.

In their last match, Arsenal defeated Nottingham Forest 3-0. However, coach Mikel Arteta faced a problem: captain Martin Odegaard left the field in the first half.

Why is Martin Odegaard not playing against Athletic Bilbao?

Odegaard stayed home for the match against Bilbao due to a shoulder injury sustained during the game against Forest.

Odegaard is not the only missing player: Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, and Ben White are also absent from the team.
