"Odegaard hasn't had much luck so far with injuries this season... Arsenal 5-0 Leeds (23 August) After playing 90 minutes in the opening game of the campaign against Manchester United, Odegaard had to be withdrawn 38 minutes into their second match against Leeds after landing awkwardly on his shoulder. Arteta said it was difficult to tell how bad the injury was immediately after full-time and that he would be sent for a scan."
"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 unlucky 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, but obviously he's our captain."
Three days after a 'phenomenal' Champions League display, Martin Odegaard was withdrawn after 30 minutes in a 2-0 win over West Ham following a knee-to-knee collision with Crysencio Summerville. He became the first Premier League player to be substituted before half-time in three consecutive starts. Earlier withdrawals this season came after landing awkwardly on his shoulder in matches against Leeds and Nottingham Forest. A brace is on his knee and medical staff will determine the extent of the injury. Availability has been limited since the season start, and the captain provides a distinct attacking dimension for Arsenal.
