EPL: Arteta speaks on Eze playing Odegaard’s role against Liverpool

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has spoken about Eberechi Eze playing in Martin Odegaard’s role against Liverpool on Sunday.

Eze was unveiled before the Gunners’ fans before the 5-0 win over Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium.

During the game, Odegaard picked up a shoulder problem and is a major doubt for this weekend’s trip to Liverpool.

When asked whether Eze can play in Odegaard’s position against Liverpool, Arteta told reporters: “We have options in that position and that’s the good thing we have this year.
“Let’s see [on Odegaard]. Another day. I’m not going to give you any more clues!”

On Eze’s versatility, he added: “We have a lot of players who can play in different positions and fill gaps.

“That is going to be very necessary, so very happy to have the ability to do that.”
