armory Beating Atletico Madrid to secure their second Champions League final.
The first leg in Madrid last week ended in a 1-1 draw. On Tuesday, Bukayo Saka scored in the 44th minute to give Arsenal a 1-0 win at the Emirates and a place in the final.
Arsenal star Martin Odegaard came off the bench in place of Eberechi Eze in the 59th minute against the La Liga team.
The Norway international has struggled with persistent injuries, which have limited his playing time this season. He suffered seven injuries, due to which he missed 137 days and 25 matches for Arsenal. The setbacks also mean he has not been able to represent his country since September.
The midfielder last suffered the injury in Arsenal's Champions League clash against Sporting in April. At that time, Norway manager Stel Solbakken confirmed He has suffered a "small shock". Since then, Odegaard has made four appearances for the Premier League team.
Manager worried about Arsenal player
The 27-year-old was not present at the open training session on Monday, raising concerns over his participation against Atletico Madrid.
Before tomorrow's Champions League match, tv2 State Norway manager Stel Solbakken said that Martin Odegaard's fitness situation is "not ideal".
After the match, TV2 caught up with the Arsenal captain to hear his reaction following his team's latest achievement and to talk about his fitness.
The former Real Madrid player, who is struggling with injuries, dreams of playing the World Cup with Norway. Before that, they have a crucial clash with Mikel Arteta's side, who are in the race to win the title and the Champions League.
TV2 believes it may be difficult for Edgard to balance priorities at a time when Solbakken admitted that his situation is not ideal.
However, the player has a different take on it: “We have to take it a little bit day by day.”
His team-mate Declan Rice insists Arsenal and Odegaard are a different side.
"Martin deserves it. Since he came here in 2020/21, he has taken the club to this level. He is a phenomenal player. When we have him, we are a much better team." Rice explained.
Arsenal's remaining matches
The North London club has three more matches to play in the Premier League this season and then the Champions League final.
Martin Odegaard, if fit, is likely to feature in these fixtures and Norway can only hope that he does not suffer any injuries.
