Norway national team manager St\u00e5le Solbakken has confirmed his intention to call up Arsenal captain Martin \u00d8degaard for the upcoming international break, despite the midfielder’s lingering injury.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00d8degaard has been sidelined since September after suffering an ankle injury<\/a> while playing in the Nations League for Norway. His absence has been a significant blow to both Arsenal<\/a> and Norway, as the playmaker has been a key figure for both teams.<\/p>\n

While \u00d8degaard has reportedly made progress in his recovery, he has yet to return to action for Arsenal and is unlikely to return in time for the all-important Premier League<\/a> game against Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, Norway manager St\u00e5le Solbakken remains optimistic about his availability for Norway’s upcoming Nations League matches against Slovenia and Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n

“Odegaard’s recovery? Everything indicates that things are going according to plan,” Solbakken told VG.<\/p>\n

“It’s about the last steps when you have to train with opponents and in team training. It depends on how he responds to that, but we have a legitimate hope that he is ready.”<\/p>\n
