Arsenal have confirmed that Martin Ødegaard has withdrawn from Norway’s squad for their games against Israel and New Zealand after sustaining a medial collateral ligament injury to his left knee in the 2-0 win over West Ham on Saturday.
Ødegaard went down clutching his knee after clashing with Crysencio Summerville in the first half at the Emirates and twice attempted to carry on after receiving treatment before being replaced by Martín Zubimendi. Mikel Arteta said after the match that Ødegaard had left the ground with his knee in a brace and the Arsenal manager admitted his captain was “not positive about it”.
