Martin OdegaardInjury & Status: Picked up an ankle knock after a challenge from Bernardo Silva during Norway’s 2-1 defeat to Portugal. Although he was seen limping and sat out training on Tuesday, he remained with the national squad and travelled to Wales, indicating the issue is not severe.
Potential Return Date: October 10 vs. Leeds United (Home).

Potential Return Date: October 10 vs. Leeds United (Home).
Injury & Status: Substituted during Germany’s match against the Netherlands after suffering a high challenge resulting in a muscle strain (suspected hamstring issue). He left international duty early to be assessed by Arsenal’s medical team, with early optimism that it is not a long-term setback.
Potential Return Date: October 10 vs. Leeds United (Home).
Declan Rice: Withdrew from the England squad to rest after dealing with recurring niggling fitness issues rather than a fresh acute injury. Expected back on October 10 vs. Leeds.

Piero Hincapie: Left out of Ecuador’s squad due to fitness and injury concerns, utilizing the international window to recover. Expected back on October 10 vs. Leeds.
Cristhian Mosquera: Sidelined by a muscle issue since late August, but travelled as the extra squad member to the Brighton game and is targeting an October 10 return vs. Leeds.
William Saliba: Remains out long-term with a back injury sustained in July. While surgery is not required, his rehabilitation continues, with a potential return projected for Winter 2026 (likely after the November international break).
