Norwegian national team coach Lars Lagerbäck summoned 25 players for the trip to Skopje on the 11th in order to face Macedonia in a friendly match.
Unlike Macedonia, Norway will play two friendlies in the FIFA open dates this month. After the game on the 11th at the National Arena Philip II of Macedon, Norway will visit Slovakia. Swedish coach Lars Lagerbäck, who in charge of the Vikings since February, called up more or less the same squad from the October qualifiers with only missing midfielder Sander Berge and attacker Tarik Elyounoussi due to injuries. Igor Angelovski announced his squad on Monday.
Only three domestic based players are present with all of them being part of Rosenborg. Left back Meling and central defenders Reginiussen and Skjelvik played 90 minutes in the 3:1 win over Vardar in the group stage of the Europa League, so Musliu, Velkovski and Nikolov will have a chance for a revenge. The squad also features two debutantes. a teammate of Nestorovski and Trajkovski is also there, Aleesami who plays on the left side and has often assisted or contributed to the goals of Nestorovski.
