Bukayo Saka suffered a hamstring injury in Arsenal's 5-0 win over Leeds and is expected to be sidelined for up to four weeks, causing him to miss the trip to Liverpool and England's upcoming qualifiers. Martin Odegaard sustained a shoulder injury in the same match, left the Emirates with his shoulder in a sling and is doubtful for the Anfield game. Arsenal remain optimistic neither player will have long-term issues. Saka previously missed three months last season with a hamstring problem. Arsenal have added attacking options and can call on several alternatives to cover absences.
Bukayo Saka is set to miss Arsenal's game at Liverpool on Sunday as well as England's World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia next month. The 23-year-old went off with a hamstring injury in Saturday's home win against Leeds United and it is estimated the forward will be unavailable for up to four weeks. Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard is doubtful for the match at Anfield as a result of a shoulder injury suffered in the victory against Leeds.
Odegaard looked in pain as he was replaced in the first half of the 5-0 win and the former Real Madrid attacking midfielder is understood to have left Emirates Stadium with his shoulder in a sling. The Norway playmaker has not yet been ruled out of the game against the Premier League champions and there is optimism at Arsenal that neither the 26-year-old or Saka will be long-term casualties.
