Norway Team Coach Aage Hareide has named the squad for Norway's final two matches in the Europe Zone Group 5 World Cup qualifiers. With Italy currently topping the group, and only needing 1 point to secure top-spot in the group, Norway will be looking for two wins to consolidate the second spot in Group 5.

Coach Hareide today revealed the full squad that will convene for the team's two remaining World Cup European Zone Group 5 qualifiers, firstly at home to Moldova on October the 8th, and then away to Belarus in Minsk just four days later.

Norway are currently in joint second place with Slovenia on 12 points, behind leaders Italy, who currently have 17 points.

Slovenia have the probability of two much tougher matches than Norway to come, with their first game against Italy, away on the 8th of October, and then a home tie against the newly resurgent Scotland team on the 12th.

Goalkeepers:
Espen Johnsen (Rosenborg), Thomas Myhre (Charlton Athletic)
