“Nothing has been decided” – No clarity over Arsenal player’s injury as yet

Arsenal sealed a 3-0 win over Brentford on Sunday and the north London club confirmed that Martin Ødegaard missed the tie due to a calf problem.

Reports in England have stated the Norway international picked up an injury during training. The latest setback has raised doubts over his availability for the national team during the ongoing international break.

Ståle Solbakken included the 22-year-old in his Norway squad to face Slovenia and Serbia in the UEFA Nations League matches later this month. It’s not clear whether the player will be fit on time to face these two nations.

The Arsenal star was scheduled to attend the Norway training camp this week and today’s Dagbladet claims it is ‘not clarified’ whether he will be present.

Norway media manager Morten Skjønsberg has informed the newspaper that Solbakken has been in touch with both the former Real Madrid man and the Gunners. 

Skjønsberg added it is not clear whether the preparations for the matches against Slovenia and Serbia will go ahead with or without Mikel Arteta’s man.

When VG approached him over Ødegaard’s availability for September’s fixtures, Skjønsberg stressed: “As of now, nothing has been decided.”
