Martin Ødegaard (Arsenal)
September 2025
Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard aggravated a shoulder problem against Nottingham Forest, leaving the pitch after 17 minutes. The injury is a major setback ahead of their Champions League opener and Premier League showdown with Manchester City next week. Already nursing a shoulder knock from a clash with Leeds, Ødegaard pushed through to play for Norway during the break, even scoring. But a fresh challenge from Morgan Gibbs-White forced him off, raising fears of another extended absence.
