Martin Odegaard has been included in Norway's squad for their upcoming matches despite going off injured against Leeds United on Saturday.
Arsenal recorded a commanding 5-0 win over the newly promoted side, though there were concerns over the club captain after he had to go off in the first half.
Odegaard appeared to have hurt his right shoulder, which led to his 38th-minute substitution, though his inclusion in Norway's squad will perhaps ease fears ahead of Arsenal's clash with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
Manchester City duo Erling Haaland and Oscar Bobb have also been included in the squad, as has Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sorloth.
Norway host Finland in a friendly on September 4 before facing Moldova in a World Cup qualifier five days later.
They sit top of Group I, having won all four of their matches so far, and are six points clear of second-place Israel, who have played one game fewer.
Norway are bidding to reach their fourth World Cup, and their first since 1998.

I am beginning to suspect some foul play over Odegaard and his involvement in the Norway national team. He had an injury last time he was bound to international duty. And now again! Is it just a coincidence or priority issues are involved - this prioritizing over Club than national duty? Am just saying!

national teams managers know all this systems you can deceive them so they will have to check him if he's not fit , he will not play... but if he is fit he will definitely play.

of course he’s called up because he’s the captain. i hope they rest him if he’s not 100 fit but just his presence is good for the norway team.
