STOCKHOLM - A lower back injury has
ruled striker John Carew out of Norway's Group H clash with
Denmark in Oslo on Saturday.
The forward, on loan at Stoke City from Aston Villa, told
the Norwegian FA's website that he was
disappointed to miss the Scandinavian derby.
"I am sad to miss this important international. I've done
all I can to recover in time, but unfortunately the match comes
just a little too early for me."
Norway sit top of Group H on nine points from three matches,
with Portugal in second place on seven from four games.
The Danes occupy third place with six points from their
three outings to date.
