"Odegaard set an unwanted record on Saturday when he became the first player in Premier League history to be substituted before half-time in three consecutive starts. He came off early in victories against Leeds and Nottingham Forest because of an ongoing shoulder issue. Against West Ham, he was withdrawn after 30 minutes following what manager Mikel Arteta described as a "knee-to-knee" collision with opposition forward Crysencio Summerville."
"I just spoke to him. He's not positive about it. He's got a brace on. We'll have to wait and see from the doctors, but we haven't been very lucky with that either. We haven't had him since the start of the season for one reason or the other. The shoulder twice and then this injury. We'll have to wait and see the extent of that injury, and we'll find solutions,"
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has sustained a medial collateral ligament injury to his left knee and has been withdrawn from Norway's upcoming matches, including a World Cup qualifier against Israel and a friendly with New Zealand. He will remain at Arsenal for assessment and treatment, with no timeline set for his return. The injury occurred in a knee-to-knee collision with Crysencio Summerville during the match against West Ham, when he was withdrawn after 30 minutes. Odegaard has also missed time this season with a recurring shoulder issue and became the first Premier League player substituted before half-time in three consecutive starts.
