Ødegaard Expected to Recover for Wales Match

Norway's captain Martin Ødegaard is expected to be available for the upcoming Nations League match against Wales after recovering from his injury against Portugal.

Norway's player responsible, Brede Hangeland, confirmed that Ødegaard came through yesterday's light training session well and is expected to be fit. 'From what happened yesterday, it certainly looks that way,' Hangeland told TV 2 when asked if Ødegaard would be cleared to start.

However, Hangeland emphasized that the final decision rests with the medical team. 'It's the medical staff who must make such decisions. I'm just a pawn on the chessboard. They surely have full control over it,' he said regarding whether Ødegaard will be tested during warm-up. esporist.org
