In the Premier League, Arsenal were unlucky to suffer a fierce counterattack from Aston Villa and lost by two goals, casting a shadow over their hopes of winning the top spot in the league. Unfortunately, the captain of the team, Martin Odigat, left the field at the end of the match with an injury. Leader Adidah was tight-lipped about the injury. The upcoming Europa League last-eight second-leg match against Bayern Munich in the early hours of Thursday morning also made Adidas look hesitant.
In this match, Arsenal's overall performance was unsatisfactory. Despite Odigat's best efforts on the field, he was forced to go off due to injury in the 79th minute, and was replaced by Imeruo. However, shortly after Odigat left the field, the team conceded two goals in a row.
After the match, Adi Da faced questions about the substitution strategy and responded, "Odigat felt discomfort in his foot and could not stay in the game, that's why he had to be substituted." Nevertheless, Adi Da did not reveal more details about the injury. According to The Sun UK, the Norwegian midfielder's injury makes it uncertain whether he will be able to play against Bayern Munich.
It is worth mentioning that Arsenal drew 2-2 with Bayern Munich in the first leg of the last eight, while Bayern suffered an injury to Kyungsri Govan in the league.
