LONDON (AP) — Martin Odegaard has been withdrawn from Norway's squad for its upcoming matches, including a World Cup qualifier against Israel, because of a knee injury sustained on Premier League duty with Arsenal, the English club said Sunday.
Odegaard, who is Norway's captain, suffered a medial collateral ligament injury to his left knee early in Arsenal's 2-0 win over West Ham on Saturday, the club said. It marked the third time this season he has gone off in the first half of a match because of injury, with Odegaard having also been troubled by shoulder problems.
