Norway have lost Jørgen Strand Larsen from their national team camp, with Erik Botheim named as his replacement. The Norwegian Football Federation confirmed the forward’s withdrawal on X.
Ankle problem forces withdrawal
Following examinations on Strand Larsen’s ankle, it was decided that he will return to his club to undergo rehabilitation. The federation did not require him to remain with the squad.
Solbakken had already prepared a backup
Head coach Ståle Solbakken had raised the possibility of bringing in a replacement at Tuesday’s press conference, in case Strand Larsen had to pull out. Asked whether Botheim was under consideration, Solbakken gave a positive response, saying it was not a bad suggestion.
