Odegaard’s return from injury will do wonders for Eberechi Eze, who will be eager to move out of midfield and back onto the left wing.
Eze showed how good he can be on the left for England when he scored a wonderful goal for the Three Lions against Serbia at Wembley.
But the captain’s return will mean he moves from the number ten role to his more natural left-winger role.
