Manager Mikel Arteta expressed his concerns, stating that Odegaard felt discomfort in his shoulder after landing awkwardly. He revealed that the team will need to undergo further examination to determine the extent of the injury.
Regarding Saka, Arteta mentioned that he felt a pull in his hamstring while running with the ball. Although it's not the same hamstring injury he suffered previously, the timing of the new issue is concerning. Arteta noted that Saka has experienced similar injuries before, so he knows how to handle the situation.
Arteta emphasized the importance of being well-equipped to handle the demands of the league. He highlighted that maintaining a high level of performance requires a strong team and adequate preparation.
