"You know, Odegaard might not get a game now, he stated. Seriously, your captain might be gone. You've got Dowman who can play his position, Eze can play his position. Saka can play his position and go in there and go central. It's mad."
"By his own incredibly high standards, it's been a tough, stop-start 2025/26 campaign for Odegaard. Hampered by injuries, the Norwegian playmaker has only managed 1 goal and 5 assists in 20 Premier League appearances so far this season."
Rio Ferdinand has expressed concerns about Arsenal's midfield depth, suggesting that captain Martin Odegaard may struggle for playing time due to increased competition. With Max Dowman emerging as a promising talent and Eberechi Eze already demanding minutes, the central creative role at Arsenal has become crowded. Ferdinand notes that Bukayo Saka could also drift centrally, further complicating the situation. Odegaard has had a challenging 2025/26 season by his standards, managing only 1 goal and 5 assists in 20 Premier League appearances while dealing with injuries. Ferdinand predicts Saka will have a breakout year next season after a relatively quiet current campaign with 6 goals and 3 assists in 27 Premier League matches.
