Oscar Bobb has been selected for Norway's national team for the first time. Coach Ståle Solbakken says he is a potential starter in the matches against Cyprus and Spain.
What happened?
Oscar Bobb has been heavily involved with Manchester City over the past week. He came on as a substitute when City was trailing against Wolverhampton on Saturday. He also played 90 minutes against Newcastle in the league cup.
Who is Oscar Bobb?
Oscar Bobb is a 20-year-old winger who has made his debut for Manchester City in the Champions League this season. He is known for his speed and ability to play in tight spaces.
What does the coach say?
– He is a player who is relevant for the eleven, says Ståle Solbakken. He is good in small spaces, he is not a clinical finisher. He has a good burst, but he is not one who runs away from people over distance.
Norway's chances
Norway has a minimal chance of qualifying directly from the Euro qualifiers. But with Oscar Bobb on the team, they can hope for better results. The matches against Cyprus and Spain will be crucial for Norway's chances.
