Arsenal confirmed that captain Martin Ødegaard has suffered a medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury to his left knee and has withdrawn from the Norway squad.
It is the latest in a number of setbacks for the 26-year-old, who picked up the injury against West Ham on Saurday, in what has already been an injury-hit campaign.
The club have confirmed the player will miss his country’s upcoming matches against Israel and New Zealand after sustaining the knee issue.
A statement from the Gunners added: “Martin will continue to be assessed and treated by our medical team at Sobha Realty Training Centre during the international window, with the aim of a return to action as soon as possible.”
Ødegaard was forced off after 30 minutes of the 2-0 victory over West Ham at the Emirates Stadium, the third successive home game in which he has been withdrawn before half-time.
He has previously had shoulder problems.
Arsenal also have an injury concern over Declan Rice, who was substituted in the 79th minute on Saturday with a back issue but is expected to report for England duty as planned.
