degaard out of Norway squad to rehab ankle
Briefly

"I've been through a long training period and when you haven't practiced football in the last nine weeks, it's natural not to be 100% yet. I need to listen to my body, complete this rehab process and get my foot back in good shape."
"The hope has always been to be able to play the national matches, and if I hadn't played the match on Sunday, it would have been out of the question to participate for Norway anyway. But it's a bad feeling to lose these games, I love playing for Norway and with this team."
"This has been a complicated ankle injury. With very few training sessions with the team [Arsenal] over the past nine weeks, it's natural that the body is not 100% at this stage."
