"Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard has been included in Norway's national team squad for upcoming matches, easing concern over an apparent injury ahead the Premier League game against Liverpool. Ødegaard exited Arsenal's 5-0 rout of Leeds on Saturday after appearing to hurt his right shoulder. Arsenal visit Liverpool on Sunday in a league match between two likely title contenders. Norway host Finland in a friendly on Sept. 4 and then play Moldova in a World Cup qualifier on Sept. 9."
"Arsenal have also been dealt a boost after it emerged Bukayo Saka's hamstring injury -- which also forced him to be withdrawn against Leeds -- is not as significant as first feared. The England international missed three-and-a-half months of last season following surgery on his right hamstring and the concern was that he could face a similar lay-off after he hobbled off with a left hamstring issue."
Martin Ødegaard exited Arsenal's 5-0 rout of Leeds after appearing to hurt his right shoulder but has been included in Norway's squad for matches against Finland (friendly on Sept. 4) and Moldova (World Cup qualifier on Sept. 9). Norway lead their qualifying group with 12 points from four matches and also call up Erling Haaland. Arsenal travel to Liverpool on Sunday in a match between likely title contenders. Bukayo Saka suffered a left hamstring problem against Leeds but early indications are positive and the injury is not expected to require the same three-and-a-half-month lay-off as last season.
