📰 Team News: Lillestrøm SK

Looking at personnel, there is just a single fitness concern for the Lillestrøm SK gaffer Hans Erik Ødegaard to contend with from an otherwise complete squad. Eric Kitolano (Broken leg) won’t play. Espen Garnås is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

We are thinking that Kanarifuglene should make use of the 4-3-3 system in the match, beginning the first half with Pontus Dahlberg, Sturla Ottesen, Ruben Gabrielsen, Ulrik Jenssen, Frederik Elkaer, Ylldren Ibrahimaj, Gustav Nyheim, Markus Karlsbakk, Yaw Paintsil, Thomas Lehne Olsen and Félix Va.
