Norway coach Stale Solbakken is confident of Martin Odegaard's fitness ahead of the World Cup.

Arsenal captain Odegaard has been forced to miss Premier League victories over Chelsea and Brighton in the past week due to a nagging knee complaint.

Solbakken is unconcerned, however, telling Viaplay: "There is nothing serious about Martin. The most important thing is that he recovers completely and is good for us in the summer.

"For those of us who care about the World Cup, it's not a disaster that he's getting some breaks now.

"He's going to rebuild and be crucial for Arsenal in April-May and maybe late March."
