According to Engebretsen, the extent of the injury is not yet clear. However, based on a video of the incident, he believes Odegaard may have suffered a lateral ligament injury. This type of injury could keep Odegaard sidelined for six to eight weeks, depending on its severity.

However, if the injury is more extensive, such as a cruciate ligament injury, Odegaard's recovery time could be longer.

Odegaard recently set a new Premier League record by becoming the first player to be substituted before halftime in three consecutive matches.
