Saka injury 'not serious' but Arsenal without Odegaard

Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka's injury "is not serious" but captain Martin Odegaard remains unavailable, manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed.

England international Saka, 23, sustained an apparent hamstring injury during the Three Lions' loss to Greece last week and missed Sunday's win over Finland.

"It is not a serious injury. He is evolving really well. He has done a few things in the last two days. We are hopeful," Arteta said on Friday.

But Odegaard "is not going to be fit" in time for Saturday's Premier League match at Bournemouth (17:30 BST), having suffered an ankle ligament injury during September's international break.
