Martin Odegaard is facing an anxious wait to determine the extent of his ankle injury. Gunners captain Odegaard may miss Sunday’s North London derby, with reports in Norway suggesting he could be out for up to a month.

Following a challenge by Austria’s Christoph Baumgartner, Odegaard was able to walk off the pitch without a protective boot; however, he will undergo a scan to assess the damage. Arsenal will play the North London derby in unfamiliar colors due to a kit clash, as they have been asked by the Premier League to wear their black kit instead of the red one.

This decision comes after the club was warned in the summer about the potential clash. The kits had already been ordered and production underway, leading Arsenal to press ahead with wearing the black kit.

The upcoming match will mark the first time in recent seasons that either team has had to change colors. In the reverse fixture at the Emirates, Tottenham will also have to wear their away kit.

Additionally, Arsenal are reportedly unimpressed with the appointment of referee Jarred Gillett for the North London derby. This text also includes a prompt encouraging readers to share their thoughts on the starting XI Mikel Arteta should name against Spurs.
