Norway manager Stale Solbakken has provided an update on the fitness of Manchester City winger Oscar Bobb.
The winger was not included in the squad for his country’s games against Moldova and Israel later this month and Solbakken says Bobb lacks the requisite match sharpness, despite having returned to first team training:
“We had a conversation with (Pep) Guardiola indirectly. We have a full overview of what he (Bobb) has done, and there is very little in big games. Zero games and little big games, but he is at least in training now.”
“He (Bobb) has had a couple of setbacks along the way, and it was a broken leg. Sometimes, it takes longer than you hope. City is in a position where they can’t give him any free minutes, either. They are fighting for their lives for Champions League games, and that will probably delay his comeback even further.”
