Liverpool vs. Arsenal player injury update
Mikel Arteta’s side have opened the season with two wins from two, showing strong form against Leeds over the weekend. However, the victory was dampened by fresh injury concerns.
Both Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saku were forced to leave the pitch, sparking fears among Arsenal supporters about their availability ahead of next week’s clash with Liverpool.
Medical assessments have since confirmed a setback for Saka, who is expected to be sidelined for up to four weeks with a hamstring problem sustained against Leeds, according to BBC journalist Sami Mokbel.
Ødegaard also departed with a shoulder issue and was seen leaving the stadium in a sling, though early indications suggest he should be fit to feature, his selection for Norway’s 2026 World Cup qualifier squad also confirms that he might be available for selection by Sunday.
Arteta will now have key decisions to make in his team selection. The club’s activity in the summer transfer window has strengthened the squad, giving them more options than in previous seasons. However, Kai Harvertz remains unavailable with a knee injury, and there has been no fresh update on his recovery timeline.
