Arsenal receive crucial injury boost after UEFA publish international squad list

Mikel Arteta will no longer have to sweat on the fitness of his Arsenal captain

Arsenal's Martin Odegaard is set to be included in Norway's squad to face Wales this evening

But Solbakken's World Cup quarter-finalists are well aware that they could finish the international break top of the pile if they win their next two games.

Motivation levels are high following agony against Portugal and the team is fuelled by the frustration over Bernardo's controversial tackle.

It's understood Arsenal's medical staff have been kept informed on Odegaard's condition since he picked up the problem, which wasn't enough to see him leave camp - unlike Kai Havertz's with Germany (hamstring).

Norway doctor Ola Sand conducted tests and scans on Odegaard's ankle and according to Hangeland, who spoke earlier this week, they revealed "nothing dramatic."
