Ffs, he's only just returned
Ode confirmed
If Øde comes back in pieces this time, we'd better send a bullet to Norway next time.

I’m in the minority but I thought he was well meh yesterday. He’s a bit all fart and no poo
Think that’s harsh. His first game back after 2.5 months and manages to complete 90 mins.
He’s mentally and physically very sharp. Our players look up to him as well, arguably most important cog in our machine.
Was it his best game? No, it was never going to be. But he still managed to deliver a very meaningful contribution. And he brings better balance to our midfield and team in general.

Phew. It's just been announced that he won't be playing for Norway this week. Solbakken said that Arteta called him to discuss the situation as well. 
That is good. So he will miss both games?
Sicario2 - Tier 1 yup, going back to London.
QuincyAbeyie would be curious to know how that conversation went!
Great news. It's fucking disgraceful that he was called up.
Despite being injured for two whole months, Odegaard still leads open chance creation in the premier league in the 2024 calendar year. 62 ahead of 59 for Palmer, 58 Diaz and 55 De Bruyne. He and KDB are exceptional creatives
@Clrnc, I agree with @Coombs. Palmer is a fantastic player. But look at his stats. They are accumulated against bad teams that Chelsea punish in transition. Against more organized defensive structures, he’s been largely ineffective.
He’s a kid, so I expect him to solve this over time, and as Chelsea’s team matures.
