Odegaard on Everton and giving Zinchenko captaincy

Every home game, Martin Odegaard gives you his thoughts on the goings-on around the club in his captain’s notes for the matchday programme.

Ahead of tonight's game against Everton, you can read a snippet of his latest column which includes his thought process on giving Oleksandr Zinchenko the captaincy at Leicester, and how difficult an opponent the Toffees will be.

I was really happy to give Zinny the armband for the game. I knew that the Premier League were paying respects to Ukraine at the weekend’s matches, with all captains wearing special armbands, so we discussed it a bit in the dressing room with other players, then I went to the manager to ask him if we should give it to Zinny.
