Paul Scholes believes Martin Odegaard can transform Arsenal after returning from injury. The Norwegian is expected for the clash against Chelsea, an essential asset for Arteta in the title race.
Martin Odegaard’s return could transform Arsenal’s momentum in the Premier League, according to Manchester United legend Paul Scholes. Absent since September due to an ankle injury, the Norwegian midfielder is an essential pillar in the offensive play of the Gunners, whose style has been more conservative without him. “Arsenal are missing Odegaard, they really need him. He changes the way they play football”said Scholes, emphasizing that his absence limited the offensive aggressiveness of Mikel Arteta’s team.
A hoped-for return for the clash against Chelsea
Currently on a slight recovery, Odegaard could make his return between now and the next international break, potentially providing a crucial boost in the London derby against Chelsea on November 10. Scholes believes Arsenal need to improve their mentality in big games to truly compete with Manchester City for the title this season.
