Martin Ødegaard is not at the next national team meeting. Ståle Solbakken confirms this at a press conference on Tuesday. – Our physio spoke to Arsenal’s physio yesterday. I have spoken to Martin three days in a row and we do not rule out that he could be taken out. It’s because he has to tick a few more boxes to be ready, says Solbakken. – The injury is such that it affects his feelings a bit, which can go up and down a bit. Yesterday, that feeling was good, he continues. In other words, Solbakken does not rule out joining the squad at a later date. But that is only if he is actually ready to play. If he is injured, he will remain in North London for the entire assembly. – Then it is because he has to continue his rehabilitation in the club, says the national team manager to news. Julian Ryerson has been brought in after suffering an injury at Borussia Dortmund. Norway faces Slovenia and Kazakhstan in the Nations League, and there has been tension surrounding captain Martin Ødegaard’s condition. Ødegaard has struggled with an injury since the national team meeting in September. Kristoffer Ajer, Andreas Hanche-Olsen and Ørjan Nyland are also out with injuries and will not be ready for the meeting. With that, there is an ever-so-small defensive crisis, and Solbakken says he has not quite decided who will form the stopper pair with Leo Skiri Østigård, who by all indications will start the international matches. Malmö’s Lasse Berg Johnsen and Colin Rösler have been named in the squad for the first time.
