"Martin Odegaard went down clutching his knee after a clash with Crysencio Summerville (Image credit: Getty Images) Arsenal have confirmed that captain Martin Odegaard is set to face a spell on the sidelines with injury. The Norwegian left the Emirates Stadium with his knee in a brace after a collision with Hammers winger Crysencio Summerville, which saw him replaced by Martin Zubimendi after just 30 minutes."
"In a statement on their official club website, Arsenal confirmed that Odegaard has suffered a medial collateral ligament injury to his left knee. They added that he has therefore been withdrawn from international duty with Norway, where he was due to face Israel and New Zealand over the coming week, to be assessed and treated by club medics with the aim of a return to action as soon as possible."
"Physio Scout, a respected football injury analyst on X, has provided a clearer timeline than the club has offered, with a couple of caveats. They state that if Odegaard has suffered a grade one strain, he could face one to three weeks out, a grade two would see him out for three to six weeks, and a grade three could lead to up to 10 weeks on the sidelines, potentially more."
