Martin Ødegaard's early-season injury issues continued on Saturday when he was forced off in the 18th-minute of Arsenal's Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Ødegaard's frustration will be compounded by the fact his injury was prompted by a collision with his own teammate at the Emirates.
The Arsenal captain fell awkwardly after Jurriën Timber inadvertetly made contact with Ødegaard while attempting to win the ball from Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White on the edge of the penalty area.
Ødegaard left the pitch holding his shoulder -- he first injured his shoulder during Arsenal's win over Leeds United on Aug. 23 and was not included in the team's starting XI for the 1-0 defeat at Anfield before the international break as a result.
He was replaced by Ethan Nwaneri.
