Midfielder Matthias Normann will not be called up to the national team Norway due to signing a contract with a Russian club, according to the official website of the Norwegian Football Association.
The statement said national team head coach Stole Solbakken informed Norman on Monday that the footballer will not prepare for the upcoming national team meeting due to his desire to reach an agreement with the new Russian club. On Saturday, the media reported that Norman would be moving from “Rostov ” in “Dynamo ” for rent. Earlier, Blues and Whites chief executive Pavel Pivovarov said the club are continuing to work to complete the Norwegian’s transfer deal.
– Initially, it was not the task of the federation to say anything about the choice of clubs by national team players, but now we are in an extraordinary situation. All Norwegian and European football agrees to put pressure on Russia. All Russian teams are prohibited from participating in international sports competitions. Stole and I agree that Normann cannot represent Norway as he will play for a new Russian club,” said Lise Claveness, president of the Norwegian Football Association.
Norman is 26 and signed with Rostov in 2019.
