  "textContent": "Arteta facing another potential injury issue (Picture: Getty)\n\nMartin Odegaard was spotted limping out of the Gtech Community Stadium after Arsenal’s draw with Brentford last night in what could be another major injury worry for Mikel Arteta.\n\nThe Gunners settled for a point after a pulsating Premier League clash with the Bees on Thursday night with the gap between them and Manchester City now standing at four points.\n\nOdegaard, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard were all injury doubts heading into the game with the Belgian claiming a place in Mikel Arteta’s starting XI.\n\nOdegaard came on at half-time to replace the disappointing Eberechi Eze but was left in real discomfort after trying to prevent Keane Lewis-Potter’s equaliser after 71 minutes.\n\nThe Gunners captain appeared to hurt his knee in the incident, staying down as his Arsenal teammates regrouped. Odegaard limped off the pitch to receive treatment but was able to return and see out the game.\n\nOdegaard had missed Arsenal’s last two games heading into the Brentford clash having picked up a minor issue in the 4-0 win over Leeds United.\n\nThe Mirror report the skipper was seen limping through the mixed zone after the game as he made his way to the team bus.\n\n##  Get your football fix\n\nDon't want to miss the week's biggest football stories? **Metro's** exclusive football newsletter, In The Mixer, is your essential guide.\n\nFrom the latest transfer rumours and managerial moves to analysis of the biggest games and a lot more, our experts have you covered.\n\nSign up here, it's an open goal.\n\nOdegaard was able to finish the match (Picture: Getty)\n\nArsenal take on Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup on Sunday, a game Odegaard may have been rested for anyway with Arteta changing his entire team in the previous round against Portsmouth.\n\nBut options in midfield are looking a little more limited. Ethan Nwaneri left the club to join Marseille on loan in January with Kai Havertz back on the injured list, not expected to return until the end of the month at the earliest.\n\nHavertz is also back on the injured list (Picture: Getty)\n\nMikel Merino could miss the rest of the season having undergone foot surgery this week with Eze woefully out of form.\n\nFollowing the Wigan game, Arsenal head to Wolves on Wednesday before a north London derby showdown with Tottenham a week on Sunday.\n\nOdegaard has had a difficult season disrupted by injury this term. He has missed 13 games in total this season, forced off before half-time on three occasions in the early months of the season with a knee problem seeing him miss a month of action.\n\nComment now Comments  Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source ",
