51 days agoArsenal’s Odegaard Claps Back at Captaincy Critics, Spain’s Merino Crowned a ‘Genius’
The international break hasn’t stopped the headlines from flowing out of the Emirates. From injury updates to captaincy debates, Arsenal fans are getting plenty to talk about.
💪 Odegaard Injury Update: Shoulder Back Under Control
Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard has reassured fans that his shoulder injury—picked up in the 5-0 win against Leeds—is now “under control.” Speaking during Norway’s international camp, the playmaker insisted there’s no conflict of interest between club and country.
“It hurt a lot, but now I got it under control and I feel ready… My only job was to get ready,” Odegaard told reporters.
🎤 Odegaard Responds to Tony Adams’ Dig
Arsenal legend Tony Adams stirred the pot when he suggested Declan Rice should wear the captain’s armband instead of Odegaard. But the Norwegian is unfazed:
“I don’t care that much… Everyone is allowed to have their opinion. I’ve blocked out noise my whole career.”
Talk about ice-cold composure. ❄️
🌟 Spain’s Mikel Merino: The New Midfield Maestro
While Odegaard is defending his armband, another Arsenal midfielder is stealing headlines abroad. Mikel Merino bagged a sensational hat-trick in Spain’s 6-0 demolition of Turkey, adding to his tally of six goals in six appearances this year.
Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente hailed him as “a genius and one of the best in the world.” High praise for a player many fans still consider underrated.
🔮 What’s Next for the Gunners?
With the international break wrapping up, Arsenal will face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League before turning their eyes to Europe in the Champions League. Big games against Manchester City loom on the horizon, and Odegaard’s leadership will be tested once more.
