🗞️ Team News: Vålerenga

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Vålerenga gaffer Geir Bakke to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Omar Bully (Knee injury) is sidelined.

Owing to an otherwise full-strength group of players, there is just the lone fitness problem for the Rosenborg BK boss Alfred Johansson to contend with. Noah Sahsah (Knee injury) misses out for this game.
