Injury Updates on Saka and Odegaard at Arsenal

  • Scans have shown that the injuries to Saka and Odegaard are not serious.
  • The team has signed Eberechi Eze to compensate for the absence of Havertz.
  • Arsenal continues to compete in the Premier League without several key players.

Arsenal received positive news after the injuries to Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard, which indicate that both players have not sustained serious injuries. Saka was substituted in the second half during Arsenal's 5-0 victory over Leeds, when concerns arose regarding his left ankle. Odegaard also left the pitch in the first half due to an ankle injury.

Head coach Mikel Arteta considered Saka's injury "significant," but it has now become clear that both players will likely return to play in the short term. Saka previously missed four months due to a serious right ankle injury, but a new problem arose on the other ankle.

In addition, Arsenal no longer has in the squad forward Kai Havertz, who was ruled out due to an ankle injury. The team quickly signed newcomer Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace for £60 million to compensate for his absence. Arsenal also did not hesitate to rely on Cristian Norgaard and Gabriel Jesus in the match against Leeds.

The next match for Arsenal will be against Liverpool on August 31.
