Lacks decisive touch Sunday Odegaard registered three shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Brazil.

Impact Odegaard's three-game assisting streak ended as he couldn't make his crosses count this time, though he remained productive with 101 accurate passes and multiple shots during the win. The Arsenal star has recorded most minutes in the current World Cup, except in the third group match where he was rested. He'll have another chance to get back on track in the quarterfinals, hoping to support the team through creative skill.

Assists in win Odegaard assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Cote D'ivoire.

Impact Odegaard was all-action throughout Tuesday's win, up and down the pitch contributing in a huge way throughout. The attacking midfielder got his goal contribution for the opener setting up Antonio Nusa and nearly had a second goal contribution later in the match. Odegaard will need to be hugely involved if Norway want to pull off a shock against Brazil.

Sets up teammate in Senegal game Odegaard assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Monday's 3-2 victory over Senegal.

Impact Odegaard had a complete offensive game, engineering several menacing actions, putting up stats across the board and assisting Erling Haaland's first goal with a deft through ball to cap off a counter. It's his second consecutive assist in the World Cup. He could have scored very early, but he hit the Edouard Mendy from point-blank range. He also led his team in crosses. He has tallied at least two in the first three, totaling five (two accurate) and adding four shots (one on target), two chances created and four corners.

Assists from corner Odegaard assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 4-1 victory versus Iraq.

Impact Odegaard took only one of Norway's five corners as Julian Ryerson handed most of the set piece responsibilities elsewhere, but his one delivery proved decisive, picked out by Leo Ostigard for the assist. Beyond that, the captain was not heavily involved as an attacking threat, with the corner standing as his only chance created in the game and just one shot from outside the box to his name. His role in building play to break down Iraq's defense should not be overlooked, however, as he completed 41 of his 42 passes.

Declan Rice - next England captain? Arsenal midfielder can use World Cup to show why he is Harry Kane's ideal successor

Captaining Norway Odegaard is set to be a key starter for Norway at the 2026 World Cup.

Impact 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.

Gunners’ Defining Moments Signal Arsenal Can End Premier League Title Drought

Delivers one assist off bench Odegaard assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 win over West Ham United.

Impact Odegaard came off the bench in the second half in Sunday's 1-0 win against West Ham and made an immediate impact, picking his way into the area with composure before cutting the ball back precisely for Leandro Trossard to finish and break the deadlock with seven minutes remaining. The Norwegian captain's introduction changed the dynamic of a match that had looked set for a goalless draw, with his vision and technical quality in tight spaces providing the creative spark his side had been missing. Odegaard has now registered six Premier League assists this season, level with Leandro Trossard for the team lead.

Option from bench Odegaard (knee) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Atletico Madrid.

Impact 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.

Set for return Odegaard (knee) is an option for Tuesday's match against Atletico Madrid, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "They are available, they are in the squad, both of them."

Impact Odegaard is back in the mix after he had to sit out over the weekend, with the midfielder appearing to be left out more for caution after being cleared just days later. This will give the club another threat in the attack, as he is usually the base of most of their attacks. However, with Eberechi Eze being a bit more energetic and productive as of late, it will be interesting to see if Arteta gives Exe the nod, especially with Odegaard having some concerns throughout the season.

Out against Fulham Odegaard (knee) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Fulham.

Impact Odegaard has been unable to pass the testing that had left him as a late call following the injury feared during UCL play, confirming his absence for the weekend as the club prioritize his availability for Tuesday's UCL action over any unnecessary risk on Saturday. The Norwegian had been operating in Eberechi Eze's shadow since returning from his previous injury, with the latter appearing more explosive and influential in the meantime, meaning his absence from the starting lineup is unlikely to significantly disrupt the side's rhythm. His situation will be monitored closely in the coming days as Arsenal assess whether he can be ready in time for the high-stakes European fixture ahead.

Late call for Saturday Odegaard (knee) is questionable for Saturday's match against Fulham, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "Let's see."

Impact Odegaard is feared to have suffered an injury in UCL play, and that leaves him needing some testing for Saturday, left as a late call. The true question is whether the club will turn to him if he is on the verge of fitness, as Eberechi Eze has seemed more explosive and influential when on the field since Odegaard's return from a previous injury. That said, with the midfielder on the verge of making the team sheet, he appears more likely to find a bench role either way, not risking him before UCL action on Tuesday.

Injury fears after UCL clash Odegaard's fitness is a concern after his exit due to knee discomfort in Wednesday's Champions League draw with Atletico Madrid, Simon Collings of The Sun reports.

Impact Odegaard is expected to be assessed ahead of the next Premier League contest versus Fulham, with the extent of his injury still unclear. The midfielder has struggled with physical issues throughout the season, but he has now made three consecutive starts in all competitions. Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka should see increased outings if the Norwegian faces a new absence.
