Mikel Arteta has issued a new update on the fitness of Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka ahead of Arsenal’s clash with Liverpool.
Odegaard was forced off in the first half of last weekend’s 5-0 win over Leeds after landing awkwardly on his right shoulder.
The Arsenal captain went for a scan last Sunday, which was positive and showed no significant damage.
Odegaard has been named in the Norway squad for their World Cup qualifiers next week and, speaking ahead of Sunday’s trip to Anfield, Arteta said: “We don’t know yet. He hasn’t trained yet and if he does, it will be tomorrow [Saturday]. He is doing everything he can to make himself available.”
