Odegaard suffers fresh injury scare as Arteta explains Arsenal star's absence
- Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard suffered a new right shoulder injury during their Premier League match against Nottingham Forest on September 13, 2025, at the Emirates Stadium.
- This injury is linked to an earlier shoulder problem he experienced during Arsenal's win over Leeds United on August 23, which led to him missing the next game against Liverpool before the international break.

- Odegaard’s absence adds to Arsenal’s injury challenges amid a busy September schedule, including Champions League and Premier League fixtures, prompting Arteta to manage player fitness carefully.
