  • Norwegian right-back Julian Ryerson was substituted just 11 minutes into a match against Senegal due to an injury concern.
  • Ryerson experienced issues during warm-ups and was replaced by Marcus Holmgren Pedersen.
  • This marks another injury concern for Ryerson, who also dealt with a tired thigh muscle after a previous game.

Norwegian right-back Julian Ryerson was forced off the field just 11 minutes into the match against Senegal, raising immediate concerns about his fitness. Ryerson appeared to struggle with a physical issue during the warm-up session at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey, prompting his substitution for Marcus Holmgren Pedersen.

Lars Bohinen, speaking on VG's studio broadcast, expressed surprise and concern over the early substitution, stating, "Something is terribly wrong there. That shouldn't happen." This incident follows Ryerson's previous match against Iraq, where he reportedly dealt with a "tired thigh muscle," according to national team doctor Ola Sand. The nature of the current injury is not yet clear, but the quick exit suggests a recurrence or a new problem.

Kjetil Rekdal commented on the situation, noting that "Substituting a player after ten minutes is never positive." The team had started the match against Senegal strongly, earning three corners in the opening minutes, with Kristoffer Ajer coming close to scoring from a Ryerson corner. However, Senegal gradually found its footing in the game, even as Norway faced this early setback with its key defender.

Substituting a player after ten minutes is never positive.
