Odegaard went down after a 50/50 challenge with Christoph Baumgartner and was left writing in agony.

His pregnant girlfriend Helene Spilling was in the crowd and looked concerned as it became apparent Odegaard could not continue.

He eventually went off the field in tears as teammates including Erling Haaland consoled him.

And Odegaard is now a huge doubt for Arsenal’s crunch clash against rivals Tottenham this weekend.

The playmaker withdrew from Norway’s camp to return to London on Tuesday morning.

Odegaard took a private jet back to the capital to undergo a full assessment by Arsenal’s medical staff.

But the signs are not good as the ace needed crutches to move unaided.

Odegaard appeared to grimace as he approached the plane’s steps while accompanied by a helper.
