Martin Odegaard Subbed Off, Fails to Earn Grade for Real Madrid Castilla

Martin Odegaard's struggles with Real Madrid's second team continued on Sunday.

Just days after reports emerged that the Norwegian midfielder was struggling to fit in with the Real Madrid Castilla team managed by Zinedine Zidane, the 16-year-old returned to its starting lineup to face Tudelano.

However, things did not go to plan, and Odegaard was subbed off after just 65 minutes during the 1-1 draw. 

Not only that, but Spanish newspaper AS was so underwhelmed by his performance that it didn't even give him a grade:

Real beat off the competition of a host of clubs to sign Odegaard for £2.3 million from Stromsgodset in the January transfer window.
