AZ ignores Norwegian corona advice for Fredrik Midtsjø | Football

sport">Midtsjø is now back in the Netherlands and is training again with the Alkmaar selection of trainer Arne Slot. “We act in accordance with Dutch guidelines,” says a spokeswoman for AZ, which resumed the Eredivisie against FC Emmen on Sunday.

sport">Midtsjø belonged to the Norwegian selection that was startled by a corona case last week. Omar Elabdellaoui tested positive and that prompted the Norwegian Ministry of Health to ban the footballers from going to Romania for a match in the Nations League. The health service in Oslo advised the internationals to go into quarantine for 10 days. Most players have since returned to their clubs.

sport">The Norwegian association has compiled a completely new selection for Wednesday’s Nations League match with Austria. Hakon Evjen (AZ), Jørgen Strand Larsen (FC Groningen) and Sondre Tronstad (Vitesse), among others, have been called up. Jonas Svensson, fellow countryman and club member of Midtsjø and Evjen, had to cancel an injury last week for the international match period.
