Arsenal star provides 4 assists in 4 games over international break

Arsenal's Martin Odegaard has provided four assists in four games during the international break, despite Norway's disappointing performance. After an impressive start with a 3-2 win over Denmark, the team suffered two consecutive defeats to Portugal and Wales, both by a narrow margin of 2-1. Odegaard, who was initially worried about his fitness after being fouled by Bernardo Silva, has maintained his form, playing two full matches and contributing two more assists.

His latest assist was a simple cross from a free-kick, which Kristoffer Ajer converted. However, Odegaard's workload over the break raises concerns about his availability for Arsenal, as they had been cautious with his minutes in the early season.
