OSLO, Norway (AP) — Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard was included in Norway’s national team squad for upcoming matches, easing concern over an apparent injury ahead of a Premier League game against Liverpool.

Odegaard exited Arsenal’s 5-0 rout of Leeds on Saturday after appearing to hurt his right shoulder.

Arsenal visits Liverpool on Sunday in a league match between two likely title contenders.

Norway hosts Finland in a friendly on Sept. 4 and then plays Moldova in a World Cup qualifier on Sept. 9.

Norway leads its qualifying group with a perfect 12 points from four matches as it attempts to reach its first World Cup since 1998.

Erling Haaland was also included in Norway's squad.
