In his match programme notes for the Champions League win against Atletico Madrid, Odegaard explained that setting a return date for his recovery is challenging due to the nature of the injury and the fact that it occurred in his left leg.

He noted that he experiences soreness when performing certain actions like passing and shooting with his injured leg, making it difficult to predict a specific return date.

Odegaard is currently progressing well in his recovery and expects to have a better understanding of his progress once he starts training on the pitch.

He recalled the incident that led to the injury, which occurred due to knee-to-knee contact during the West Ham match.

Odegaard initially tried to continue playing, hoping the pain would subside, but it didn't improve, leading him to come off the field.

After the match, the medical team assessed the injury, and Odegaard reported that it became more painful once the adrenaline wore off.
