Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka will be out of action for four weeks following an injury sustained over the weekend.
Saka will miss Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Liverpool on Sunday, as well as England’s World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.
The winger sustained a hamstring problem in the Gunners’ 5-0 victory over Leeds on Saturday.
The issue is not a long-term one, but reports suggest Saka could be sidelined for up to four weeks.
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard is also doubtful for Sunday’s trip to Anfield after landing awkwardly on his right shoulder during the emphatic win at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal remain optimistic that Odegaard’s injury is also not of long-term concern, according to Sky Sports.
The Gunners face the reigning Premier League champions ahead of the first international break of the new season.
Gyokeres nets brace as Arsenal rout Leeds at Emirates
England host Andorra at Villa Park on Saturday, September 6, before playing in Belgrade three days later.
Saka missed three and a half months of last season following surgery on his right hamstring, though this problem is with his left leg.
His expected absence on Merseyside could open the door for Eberechi Eze to make his Arsenal debut after arriving from Crystal Palace.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who has already seen forward Kai Havertz suffer a knee problem this season, has more attacking talent at his disposal than last term.
Eze, Viktor Gyokeres, and Noni Madueke arrived during the summer, with Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard and academy graduates Ethan Nwaneri and Max Dowman providing competition, in addition to Gabriel Jesus, who is working his way back from an ACL injury.
