"He's not positive about it. He's got a brace on.

"We'll have to wait and see the extent of that injury, and we'll find solutions, but obviously he's our captain and is a player that gives us a completely different dimension with the things that he can do, especially in attacking." On October 5, Arsenal announced that Odegaard had sustained a medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury. "Martin Odegaard has been withdrawn from the Norway national team for their upcoming matches against Israel and New Zealand after sustaining a medial collateral ligament injury to his left knee during the first half in Saturday's win over West Ham United," the club announced.
