The Norwegian national team defeated Austria with a score of 2:1 in the second round of League B of the League of Nations.
The Norwegians took the lead in the ninth minute with Felix Myhre’s goal and the Austrians equalized through Marcel Sabitzer in the 37th minute.
Erling Haaland gave Norway the win in the 80th minute of the game, but the main news is the potentially serious injury of Norwegian captain Martin Odegaard in the 65th minute of the match.
He left the game in the 67th minute after a duel with Christoph Baumgartner.
The two were battling for the ball and after contact with the Austrian, Odegaard stepped awkwardly on his left foot and sprained his ankle.
He ended up on the pitch in great pain and left the field with tears in his eyes.
The extent of the injury is not yet known, but it is certain that Odegaard will miss at least the games against Tottenham at the weekend and Atalanta next midweek, while he remains a doubt for the derby against Manchester City on September 22. /Football Match Up/
