Arsenal's latest purchase Martin Odegaard is unlikely to be available for the Gunners game against Chelsea at the weekend.
According to reports in England, some issues have arisen concerning Odegaard and his England passport. Making his chances to meet up the Arsenal versus Chelsea game slim.
Martin Odegaard and Arsenal bromance
The Norwegian enjoyed an awesome time with the Gunners during his loan spell last season. At the climax of his loan spell, he made his way back to the Madrid capital to break into Los Blancos first team.
However, his hopes were shattered after he still found the likes of Modric, Kroos, Valverde and Isco firing on all cylinders for the Galacticos. It was obvious Odegaard would lack game time if he remained at Real Madrid.
With that in mind, the young Norwegian decided to return to Mikel Arteta's men where he enjoyed a beautiful loan spell. However this time, it would be on a permanent deal. Martin Odegaard is now a Gunner.
An obstacle for Martin Odegaard
After his move to Arsenal, the fans at the Emirates would no doubt be eager to see Odegaard perform against Chelsea at the weekend. However, with the recent turn of events that may not be possible.
According to reports from the Arsenal camp, Odegaard current has some issues with his passport clearance. Making it quite difficult for him to be registered for the squad against Chelsea.
With that in mind, the Norwegian star may end up settling to make the squad during the third round of Premier League games.
Conclusion
Arsenal has begun their season on a poor note. The quest to register Martin Odegaard is on as they seek to avert back-to-back Premier League defeats.
Facing off Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea side would not be an easy one for the Gunners. However, they would hope they can salvage something from the game and cover themselves in glory.
