Revealed: Why Mikel Arteta decided to drop Odegaard for Sheffield clash

Arsenal returned to Premier League action on Saturday with a convincing 5–0 win against Sheffield United at home.

Martin Odegaard was relegated to the bench for the Emirates clash after putting in a disappointing shift at Sevilla in midweek.

According to insider Charles Watts, the Norwegian has been playing with a small injury in recent weeks that affected his performances.

Mikel Arteta and his coaching staff decided it 'was a good time to give Odegaard a break' and involve other players by giving them more minutes.
