Norway restored the majority of their first-choice players to the starting lineup for Tuesday’s World Cup round-of-32 clash against the Ivory Coast after resting them in their previous game against France.

Top scorer Erling Haaland and captain Martin Odegaard are among those to start the match but Julian Ryerson is injured.

In total, Norway make 10 changes from the side beaten 4-1 by France last Friday with only Patrick Berg remaining from the previous starting team.

The Ivorians have made three changes with Ghislain Konan and Emmanuel Agbadou returning to the defence after being rested against Curacao in their last game.
