Led by Martin Odegaard, the Nordic footballers say that all their work from recent years can go away on Saturday due to the UEFA decision, taken at midnight.
Statement from the Norwegian Federation: “We have strictly complied with UEFA protocol!
“The group of players is desperate because the Norwegian authorities do not allow us to travel for these two decisive matches in the Nations League, with Romania and Austria. I was at the airport and the plane was about to take off in an hour when I found out.
We adhere to strict UEFA protocol, which requires us to be tested for coronavirus before leaving for Norway, and we have tested it five times since we landed. After the COVID-19 case, all players and staff had two negative tests each.
We were quarantined at the hotel, we put on a mask, checked our temperature, and at the table we kept ourselves apart. A specialist doctor has always been new. We have our plane with which we travel, and in Romania we had to follow the same protocol “, is shown in the statement signed by Stefan Johansen, Martin Odegaard and Joshua King.
“The group of players is desperate!” Norwegians disappointed to be forced to stay home
Additionally, Odegaard and his colleagues are angry at local authorities.
“We are very disappointed that the authorities are forcing us to stay at home. The other 54 UEFA nations, with the exception of Norway, are playing international matches this week.
The Norwegian authorities agree to fly home, but at the same time tell us not to travel on charter flights to Romania.
They agreed with the UEFA protocol, but when an infection occurs they do not apply it, as do the rest of the countries. 43 games have been played in the last few days. None were canceled, although there were cases of coronavirus.
For the past four years I have worked hard to climb the FIFA rankings. If we don’t play Romania and Austria, our plans will suffer. “, is also shown in the statement.
