What would have happened then? “I won’t say that here,” said Östigard.

In the second half, Baumgartner had passed the ball a little too far and fouled Ödegaard in a tackle – apparently unintentionally. arsenal The midfielder twisted his ankle and sank to the ground with a pained expression on his face, holding his ankle.

He may have suffered a ligament injury. How serious it is is still unclear. According to pictures from the newspaper Verden’s Gang On Tuesday, Odegaard hobbled on crutches from Oslo on a private plane to London.
