Martin Odegaard: Arsenal FC handed major injury boost as Norway star named in squad

Norway's medical staff have been in regular contact with Arsenal.

Norway's medical staff have been in regular contact with Arsenal. While there were initial concerns after the match, the outlook has become more positive in the days since and the issue is not a significant one. Scans confirmed that Odegaard had not suffered a serious injury and it is understood the pain the midfielder was dealing with has reduced significantly. Odegaard travelled with the Norway squad to Wales and he has now been named in the 23-man squad for the match in Cardiff on Thursday night. "I wish I could say yes, but I don't know," Solbakken said.

Why it matters

Odegaard's fitness impacts Arsenal's midfield options and Norway's chances in upcoming internationals.
