Norway boss Stale Solbakken has challenged his pool of strikers to plug the gap left by the injured Erling Haaland to prove they can do a job if he is missing for a Euro 2024 qualifier.

Manchester City hitman Haaland, who has scored 23 goals for the club since his £51.2million summer move from Borussia Dortmund, has been struggling with an ankle problem in recent weeks and will not face the Republic of Ireland in Thursday night's friendly in Dublin.
