National team manager Stahl Solbakken has already expressed his concerns about defenders, and that was not diminished when centre-back Christopher Ager (24) was not in the Brentford squad on Wednesday.
The Norwegian has been missing through injury and, as far as VG knows, everything indicates that the 24-year-old will have to miss the two international matches that start the EC qualifiers: away against Spain (March 25) and away against Georgia (March 28).
Brentford’s Danish coach Thomas Frank stated in his own press conference after Wednesday’s league match away from Southampton that it was a calf injury.
– He got it in training. It is doubtful if he will make it to the qualifying matches (for Norway), according to Frank one by one Brentford win In the English Premier League – this time 2-0 away to Mohamed Elyounoussi and Southampton.
National team press officer Morten Morisback-Skjönsberg did not respond to VG’s inquiry on Wednesday night.
National team manager Ståle Solbakken took several questions about playing time between goalkeepers and defense when he introduced the squad on Tuesday, and said, among other things, the following:
– There are some situations in which there is cause for concern. Especially at the back of the field and in some of the higher positions – where our players had very little playing time. We must have a couple of thoughts in our heads here, Solbakken commented, ’cause we want additional coverage on this.
