Martin Odegaard has set an unwanted Premier League record after being substituted off injured for Arsenal against West Ham.The Gunners captain appeared to pick up an issue with his knee in the opening 20 minutes of the game at the Emirates. Odegaard couldn’t believe that he had to come off injured at the EmiratesGetty Odegaard voluntarily kicked the ball out of play to receive treatment after appearing to suffer an injury to his left knee.He called for the Arsenal medical team to come and look at his leg before going on to return to the action. But less than 10 minutes later, he sat down on the pitch again.And he instantly put his hands on his head, with this continuing his injury hell only two games after making his return. Odegaard’s distraught reaction came during his first Premier League start since September 13.The Gunners skipper had come off the bench in his last two league appearances, starting in Europe against Olympiacos on Wednesday.That was his first start of any kind since a meeting with Nottingham Forest, as he was forced to miss multiple games through injury.He suffered a shoulder issue against Leeds United and then again against Forest last month, which sidelined him for over two weeks.His Premier League comeback came against Newcastle on September 28, before playing in midweek in the Champions League.However, Odegaard is now set to return to the treatment table with a new injury, just as he appeared to be back to fitness.Odegaard was left in disbelief as he sat down on the Emirates turfGettyHe was substituted off injury yet again during the game against West HamGettyUnwanted Premier League historyOdegaard’s substitution against West Ham was the third time he’s not managed to complete a half this season.And he’s now made some unwanted Premier League history.The Norway international has become the first-ever top-flight player to be substituted before half time in three consecutive starts.Against Leeds on August 23, he was withdrawn after 38 minutes with his shoulder problem and another early exit followed.In Arsenal’s clash with Nottingham Forest on September 13, their captain was taken off after 18 minutes with the same issue.Now, with his 30th-minute substitution against West Ham, he’s made it three straight starts without making it to the break.Match StatsSo far this term, Odegaard has only completed two 90-minute games in all competitions. That has to be a major concern for the Norwegian, who is now looking at another spell on the sidelines. Manager Mikel Arteta brought Martin Zubimendi on in his place during Saturday’s game, moving Declan Rice forward.And in the end, that paid off for the Gunners as Rice would score the opening goal against his former club. Arsenal had a total of 15 shots in the first half at the Emirates and look in a strong position to move to the top of the table. That is, of course, before Liverpool take on Chelsea this evening.
