Norway's coach Stale Slobakken, however, played down fears that Odegaard may be out for a sustained period.

"I have a big hope that Martin will be fit for the game against Turkey on Saturday. Not a serious injury," Solbakken told reporters.

The attacking midfielder, who is on loan at Arsenal from Real Madrid since January, could be available for Norway's next game against Turkey.
