On Tuesday, Ståle Solbakken presented the squad for the games against the Faroe Islands and Scotland next week. Ødegaard concern There was tension beforehand as to whether Erling Braut Haaland and Martin Ødegaard would be in the squad. Norway’s two biggest stars have both struggled with injuries recently, but both were in the squad. – One player I am worried about is Martin. He has an injury now that doesn’t seem to let go. Then we’ll have to see what happens this week, he’s going to be thoroughly examined. Then we’ll see what this week brings in terms of matches and playing time, says Solbakken at the press conference. He also brought AZ full-back David Møller Wolfe (21) with him for the first time. The former Brann player replaces Birger Meling in the squad.

The VIF captain has received criticism for the club team’s performances recently. But Solbakken still chose to include him in the national team squad on Tuesday. – What Stefan has done in the national team. .. I have the impression that it is social media that rules. It was hardly a peep as he didn’t play for months. We have conceded very, very few chances. We are one of the four in all the qualifying groups combined who have conceded the fewest chances. Stefan Strandberg has been part of it, says Solbakken. And adds: – We are dead, dead, dead unscrupulous about taking out the best. But it is not Facebook United that takes the team out, he says with frustration. At the same time, he admits that things speak against the VIF stopper. – Stefan has his weaknesses. and obvious weaknesses where the rooms are too large to agree. And I agree that his performances were too weak before the last meeting, says Solbakken. The shooting stars with For Norway’s shooting star Antonio Nusa, it has been more difficult since he got playing time against Spain last time. Since then, he has played four games for Club Brugge, three of them as a substitute, but without scoring any goals. Norway’s other super talent Oscar Bobb has, in strong competition with big stars, “only” got five minutes for City since the Spain game. Both were included in the squad for the next two international matches. Both of the upcoming games are insignificant in terms of results for both Norway and the opponents. The Faroe Islands match is a training match, while both Scotland and Norway have nothing to play for in the qualifying match on 19 November. Norway’s private international match against the Faroe Islands will be played at Ullevaal Stadium on 16 November and the European Championship qualifier against Scotland will be played at Hampden Park in Glasgow on 19 November. – We will show Norway what we can do! 01:02 This is how it went when Ramm did a standup in a speedo 01:08 Is this the most beautiful goal of the year? 00:30 – I can’t feel my fingers! 01:02 Show more
