Norway are dealing with an unwanted setback ahead of their World Cup quarter-final against England.
According to The Standard, several players have been affected by a sickness bug ahead of Saturday’s mouth-watering encounter in Miami.
Despite the illness spreading through the squad in recent days, head coach Stale Solbakken believes the situation is improving as his team prepares for their last-eight clash with England.
Reports from Norway claim several players have experienced flu-like symptoms since the start of the competition.
Among those affected were striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, who missed Norway’s opening match after falling ill, and defender Marcus Holmgren Pedersen, who was unavailable for the team’s shocking round-of-16 victory over Brazil for the same reason.
