On Wednesday, Senstad had to bring in players from the Polish national recruiting team to complete proper training.
– Yes, what should I say? We were also very affected before the pandemic. Three of my key players are injured and not available for the European Championship. As of today Wednesday, two of the girls are out of competition for the European Championship with virus infection, and I am waiting for answers to the corona tests for three others, Senstad told NTB.
He got the job in August of last year, but did not lead the team at the World Cup. Poland did not qualify.
– Two or three club teams here in Poland have been completely on the virus ground, and in the top club, the whole team and all the coaches were sick, says Senstad.
He has almost lost his track, but probably and has a total of 20 players from his gross squad of 35 for the European Championship who have been affected by the covid-19 disease.
Norway will play an opening match in the European Championship against Poland on Thursday of next week.
– It can be a very, very tough championship for us. But we just have to make the most of it, says Senstad by phone from Poland.
On Tuesday, he travels with the team to Denmark and gets straight into a bubble life there.
The Norwegian squad has so far escaped with two infected players: Veronica Kristiansen and Silje Solberg. The former is in the European Championship town of Kolding, while Solberg can travel there on Sunday or Monday.
