Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has received public support from both manager Mikel Arteta and team-mate Oleksandr Zinchenko after the Gunners skipper saw his leadership called into question.
Odegaard has been one of Arsenal's stand-out performers this season, but has had some blame levelled at him for the way the club's title charge has crumbled in recent weeks. Arteta's side have topped the table for the majority of the campaign, but in the last few weeks have capitulated under the weight of expectation and handed momentum to reigning champions Manchester City.
As a result, the Gunners have faced some criticism for the first time this term and Odegaard has not been exempt. Manchester United legend and Sky Sports regular Gary Neville recently raised doubts over the Norway international's ability.
