There is no limit to the difficulty level of Arsenal this season. The club has faced multiple obstacles in order to reach the top position. The success story doesn\u2019t come alone. Media platforms have buzzed right after there were updates for Martin Odegaard and Jurrien Timber. Both the players were under medical speculation.<\/p>\n

Arsenal Continues To Deal With Injury Crisis<\/h2>\n

Both the players were like the strongest foundations of Arsenal. Martin Odegaard was the active captain of the club. He held the team together for days. His assistance and guidance helped other young players evolve.<\/p>\n

After he suffered from knee problem, the entire system failed to get over his absence. His exit became a nightmare for the squad. Medical officials reportedly declared him unfit to play for months. This ligament issue attacked the club\u2019s Premier League journey and demotivated all the members.<\/p>\n

In fact, the manager also felt the heaviness of this situation. He faced backlash as the captain could not return soon. People kept on questioning him for the lack of fitness of his men.<\/p>\n

Arsenal Miss Martin Odegaard & Jurrien Timber<\/h2>\n

The 24-year-old Dutch defender performed wonderfully this season. He gained huge recognition after the North Londoners entered the fifth round. People praised his outstanding skills and abilities. He was also tagged as one of Arteta\u2019s best decisions.<\/p>\n

No one could imagine that the defender would suffer from an injury while playing against Everton. He begin the match with energy and speed. The 24-year-old was stunning during the start. The audience kept a close watch on his moves. It was on the 18th minute when he reported something wrong in his right ankle. This moment raised tension among the crowd.<\/p>\n

Jurrien Timber denied to rush to the hospital immediately. He kept performing for nearly 20 minutes. But every person could notice that he was clearly in pain. He was straight away sent to the medical supervision after. Since then the squad has been facing extreme difficulties in the defensive line.<\/p>\n

Fans React To Mikel Arteta\u2019s Recent Interview<\/h2>\n

Fans related both these incidents to question the higher authorities and the head coach as well. They expressed their sense of disappointment. Supporters could not believe that the Dutch professional will have to leave so early.<\/p>\n

The head coach is tagged in every social media post that seeks answers for when the men will return. As per reports, Mikel Arteta has finally broke his silence and come forward to update about their conditions. This is a big deal for the entire world of football. The crowd wants the captain back as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

The Norwegian footballer holds great importance in his squad. He has actively directed the younger members of his group during tough hours. He was selected for this position because of his experience and stunning skills.<\/p>\n

The absence of both these performers is a big threat for The Gunners. Even though their exit has given exposure to some new talents. But sometimes talent is not what gets you the victory. Experience and tactical superiority is also a must. Recently the football world has seen a hype around the 16-year-old Max Dowman. He has snatched the entire limelight while the North Londoners faced Bayer Leverkusen.<\/p>\n
