Martin Odegaard Injury: Misses Cup game with discomfort

Odegaard is unavailable for Tuesday's EFL Cup matchup versus Chelsea due to a fitness issue, about which manager Mikel Arteta commented that "During the [Leeds United] game, he felt a little niggle. We tried yesterday, he wasn't comfortable, so let's see if he's hopefully available for the weekend."

Odegaard will aim to return for Saturday's clash with Sunderland if he's indeed dealing with a minor injury. However, the midfielder could be at risk of seeing his playing time limited for the third time in a row, with Kai Havertz and Eberechi Eze playing bigger roles in his place. During the last league match versus Leeds, Odegaard delivered his fifth assist of the season while playing as a substitute.
