Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
August 2025
Arsenal were handed a late boost as Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard travelled with the squad to face Liverpool, raising hopes they could feature despite recent injuries. Bukayo Saka remains sidelined for weeks with a hamstring problem. Odegaard’s shoulder knock and Trossard’s minor doubt had initially ruled them out, but their inclusion offers Arteta new options. Arsenal still face a depleted lineup, with Saka, Havertz, Jesus, White and Norgaard missing, forcing possible reliance on summer signings in attack.
