Arsenal’s captain, Martin Ødegaard, says he has “listened to my body” and returned home after being ruled out of international duty for Norway. Ødegaard started for the first time since August in Sunday’s 1-1 Premier League draw at Chelsea after an ankle injury.
The 25-year-old flew to Oslo for Nations League fixtures against Slovenia and Kazakhstan but will complete his rehabilitation work in London.
