Wins two tackles in loss

Ostigard recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Friday's 4-1 loss versus France. He also added two tackles, an interception, a clearance and a blocked shot.

Analysis: Ostigard, who scored a goal in the opener and came off the bench against Senegal, was tasked with leading the line here but was unable to make a big impact. Ostigard is seen as the third center-back in the pecking order, but he should return to the bench when Norway take on Ivory Coast on Tuesday, June 30, in the Round of 32.

Returns in Sweden friendly

Ostigard (lower leg) bounced back for a 27-minute performance off the bench in Norway's friendly against Sweden on Monday.

Analysis: Ostigard missed the final couple of Serie A clashes due to his leg injury, before which he was a key participant for Genoa, aiming to earn a starting role in Norway's back line. He replaced Torbjorn Heggem in the warmup match, and that change could be applied to the starting lineup in the World Cup opener against Iraq. In that case, Ostigard will be reliable as a solid aerial threat while increasing his side's chances of securing clean sheets.
