Captain Odegaard fell awkwardly under a challenge and appeared to hurt his shoulder.

He initially continued but was hauled off after a few minutes and replaced by Ethan Nwaneri.

Arsenal were 1-0 ahead at the time and did not take long to add another, Saka firing past the keeper shortly after Odegaard went off.

But the Gunners talisman also picked up an injury, lasting just eight minutes into the second half.

Saka appeared to suffer a hamstring injury and he received treatment before hobbling off.

Arsenal did not feel his absence as they added a fourth through Jurrien Timber after Viktor Gyokeres grabbed his first Prem goal just after the break.

However Saka and Odegaard now face a race to be fit in time for the trip to Anfield next weekend.

The crunch clash is an early title six-pointer with both clubs boasting a 100 per cent record so far, though Liverpool have only played one match.
