We definitely don’t have a goalkeeper crisis on the Norwegian national team. In fact, we are looking forward to seeing our goalkeepers fight for playing time against Wales and Copenhagen. Because regardless of whether it will be Selvik or Nyland, we are well equipped.
Ørjan Nyland has gained the trust of RB Leipzig against Elversberg in the Bundesliga, “our man” responded by keeping a clean sheet in the 4-0 victory. Three days later, the 33-year-old was on the line from the start in the German Cup to a 1-2 win for RB Leipzig.

And Egil Selvik? At Brest, the 29-year-old is a given in the starting eleven. In mid-October, he was named the best on the pitch against Lille in Ligue 1, last week it was Lorient who would get to know the Norwegian national team goalkeeper. They were chasing their fourth straight win, but this evening the Brest cage was closed. Completely closed. Because in his tenth game as Brest goalkeeper, Selvik walked off the pitch with a 0-2 win and his first clean sheet, without backwards.
On Sunday, Selvik and Brest continued to close the cage, this time against Lyon. A 2-0 win and another game without backwards on Selvik, an optimal start to the national team gathering with the very important games against Wales and Denmark.
