Norway coach Solbakken dismisses Haaland, Odegaard concerns

Norway coach Stale Solbakken intends to start his stars tonight against Slovakia.

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland and Arsenal's Martin Odegaard will both start in the friendly.

Asked about club concerns, Solbakken said: "I basically don't take that into account.

"As a rule, I don't take it into account other than common sense.

"There are five days until that match. I have spoken to both of them. Both are very eager to play the game. I think we should be happy about that."
