Sudoku Variants Series (334) - Embedded Sandwiches Sudoku

Embedded Sandwiches Sudoku
Inspiration for this type comes from DiMono.
Solve online in Penpa+ (thx again to Henry!)
Apply classic sudoku rules.
Two arrows pointing towards each other represent the crust of a sandwich, consisting of all the cells between them. The two digits in the crust create, in arbitrary order, a two digit number which is the sum of the digits in the whole sandwich including the crust. A possible solution to a sandwich of five cells in total is therefore 53962, because 5+3+9+6+2=25, and 25 can be created using the digits in the crust, i.e. 5 and 2.
Solution code: Row 9, followed by column 5.

I'm glad my puzzle inspired you. I was hoping someone else would make a puzzle using this variant. I enjoyed solving this, thank you muchly.
I found the arrows in henrypijames' Penpa link confusing to work with, possibly just because I'm so accustomed to using normal arrows for this variant, so I've also produced a Penpa+ link that uses arrows similar to those in the screenshot, and has answer check: https://git.io/J0CUz

1. Added link for online solving. (Many thanks again to Henry!)
2. Emphasized in the puzzle text that the crusts are included.

To emphasize that the crusts are included in the sum, I chose to use the outside arrows instead of the inside ones.
