– It is a bit inhibiting, says Fredrik Sjøvold to news. The right-back was involved the last time Ståle Solbakken made the national team, but had to give up with an injury that time. Reason: Torn ligament. – They say that a broken bond does not heal, so the damage is done, says Sjøvold. Nevertheless, he plays for the yellow-clad men from Bodø. In the 3-2 victory against Porto on Wednesday, he played 90 minutes, but it was a painful victory for the right-back. The ankle hurts especially after a match. – After all, it hurts the day after the match and to that extent during the match. Actually every day, but it will get better eventually. Even if it doesn’t heal, it’s clearly the most painful at the start, says Sjøvold. – But when you go on and play and stuff like that, it will take time, he says. MISSING LIGAMENTS: This is the ankle that gives Sjøvold pain.

He is stable and you know what you are getting. I think he deserves it considering what he has done in Glimt, said the national team manager about Sjøvold in August. He also made an appeal that he had to claw his way into the national team, but already on the day Sjøvold announced that he was out with an injury. – You really just have to try to take the breaks as calmly as possible. It’s really just about getting to the national team break and trying to take it easy, says Sjøvold. He thus says no to national team games this autumn. – I don’t think there will be an U21 or anything else. – Because of the injury? – Yes. – You simply have to rest? – Yes, if I start going to gatherings now, I think I will have trouble throughout the autumn.

Norway’s U21 national team meets Ireland and Turkey in the same period. From the 3rd division to the national team Sjøvold was brought in from the 3rd division club Tiller in Trondheim in 2022. Last year he established himself in the first team. In the last match before Sjøvold went to the national team meeting in September, he stepped over in a duel against Strømsgodset’s Logi Tómasson. After a two-week break, he was back and has started all matches for Glimt. – When I first decide to try to play, I just have to try to forget it. When the adrenaline kicks in, things actually go a little better. And then I can certainly feel that it hurts the next day, says Sjøvold to news.
