US EditionArsenal Injury Update: Saka, Odegaard and Havertz Latest Return Dates
Bukayo Saka will miss four weeks due to a hamstring injury sustained against Leeds, while captain Martin Odegaard's shoulder injury leaves his availability for Liverpool uncertain.
- Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has been ruled out for Sunday’s Liverpool FC at Anfield match and England World Cup qualifiers next month, with scans suggesting up to four weeks sidelined.
- In the 53rd minute Saka pulled up after a sprint and was replaced by Leandro Trossard; the injury affects the opposite leg to his surgery earlier this year, when he missed three and a half months.
- Arsenal can call on wide options including Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, Noni Madueke, Ethan Nwaneri and Max Dowman to cover Saka, with Gary Neville expecting Madueke to shift right alongside Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres.

- Scans and club hopes point to a September return if recovery goes well, with Bukayo Saka expected back after four weeks and Captain Martin Odegaard selected for Norway fixtures on September 4 and September 9.
