The period has provided opportunities for youth prospects and fringe players to impress management, while several players have been called up to their respective national teams.

As the break progresses, concerns have emerged regarding player fatigue and potential injury risks following significant playing time. For example, Edwin Austbø recently recorded an assist in a 6-1 victory for Norway’s U21 side, and is expected to return to the club for an upcoming fixture against QPR.
