Arteta Confirms Odegaard's Shoulder Injury Won't Need Surgery

Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, confirmed that Martin Odegaard's shoulder injury sustained during a match against Nottingham Forest does not require surgery. Odegaard, who had a similar shoulder issue in a previous game, was substituted early in the match.

Arteta stated that the medical team would assess the extent of the injury to determine the recovery process. This setback adds to Odegaard's recent struggles with injuries, including an ankle issue from the previous season.

The team will closely monitor his progress to ensure his full recovery and availability for upcoming matches, with Ethan Nwaneri stepping in to cover for Odegaard.
