ARSENAL captain Martin Odegaard has been left “very frustrated and grumpy” by his latest injury setback, according to Norway boss Stale Solbakken.

A knee problem has seen midfielder Odegaard sidelined since the win over Tottenham on February 22, forcing him to miss both the Champions League round-of-16 win over Bayer Leverkusen and Sunday’s Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta stressed in the run-up to Wembley that the club would not take any risks with rushing Odegaard back too soon as he looked to step up his rehabilitation.
