Arsenal teammates Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard will put their club partnership aside when England face Norway in Saturday’s FIFA World Cup quarter-final.
The midfield duo played key roles in Arsenal’s Premier League title triumph and Champions League run, but they will now battle for a place in the semi-finals with their countries.
Norway captain Ødegaard has impressed at the tournament with three assists, while Rice will be tasked with limiting his influence when the two sides meet.
Rice has previously praised Ødegaard’s leadership, describing him as one of the best teammates he has worked with.
