Captaining Norway
Odegaard is set to be a key starter for Norway at the 2026 World Cup.
Analysis: Odegaard is set to lead Norway into the World Cup as the captain, a crucial part of the team, as he is set to lead the midfield as well. He will be used as their more attacking option in the middle, and with great attacking options ahead of him, he should see plenty of opportunities to earn assists and goals. He struggled a bit with Arsenal this season as injuries played a major factor, earning one goal and six assists in 24 appearances (16 starts). However, he will look to change this at the World Cup, as his decisive passing could be the key to their potential dark horse run.
Option from bench
Odegaard (knee) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Atletico Madrid.
Analysis: Odegaard is back in the side Tuesday, but not as an option from the get-go, instead picked for the bench. This is not too surprising after Eberechi Eze showed more production in the first leg, especially with Odegaard still battling injuries. However, he should return to some starting time as the Gunners attempt to close out a Premier League title.
