Arsenal v Villarreal - Pre-Season Friendly
Arsenal have been handed a huge injury scare after Martin Odegaard had to be substituted in their Premier League clash against Leeds United on Saturday.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The Gunners were forced into making an early change midway through the first half when captain Odegaard was on the receiving end of a challenge from Leeds midfielder Anton Stach. The tackle looked innocuous but Odegaard winced in pain as he tumbled to the floor before being replaced by Ethan Nwaneri.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Arsenal suffered a further blow in the second half when Bukayo Saka also had to be replaced with a suspected hamstring injury. The England international felt the issue immediately and signalled to the substitutes bench before being replaced by Leandro Trossard.
TELL ME MORE...
Time will tell whether Odegaard and Saka have sustained serious injuries or not, but the signing of Eberechi Eze may have come at the right time for Arsenal. Mikel Arteta's men confirmed the arrival of Eze, 27, from Crystal Palace just before their home clash against Leeds got under way.
