Odegaard out of Norway's World Cup qualifier with Israel after injury playing for Arsenal

Odegaard suffered a medial collateral ligament knee injury during Arsenal's win over West Ham and will miss Norway's World Cup qualifier and friendly matches, Arsenal confirmed.

  • Arsenal said Sunday that Martin Odegaard has been withdrawn from Norway's squad after a knee injury sustained during the first half at the Emirates Stadium on October 4, 2025.
  • After a knee-on-knee collision with West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville, Martin Odegaard was forced off after 30 minutes in his third successive home game exit before half-time.
  • The club added that Odegaard will be treated at Sobha Realty Training Centre and assessed during the international window, aiming for a return as soon as possible.
  • The setback deepens Arsenal's injury problems, with Mikel Arteta calling losing his captain again a big worry and noting Noni Madueke, Kai Havertz, and Declan Rice are also sidelined.
  • Given the variable recovery window, medial collateral ligament injuries can range from one week to eight weeks or more, leaving Odegaard's return uncertain as Arsenal supporters hope for availability before the next Premier League game.
