Norway head coach Stale Solbakken has decided to go with an unchanged roster for Monday’s World Cup Group I showdown against Senegal in East Rutherford, N.J. The decision keeps intact the squad that delivered a dominant 4-1 victory over Iraq in Norway’s tournament opener.<\/p>

Senegal’s coaching staff made the same call, rolling out the identical starting eleven that took the field in their 3-1 loss to France earlier in the competition.<\/p>

For Norway, Solbakken is sticking with his preferred attacking trio, with Alexander Sorloth and Antonio Nusa flanking star striker Erling Haaland up front.<\/p>

On the Senegal side, Ibrahim Mbaye will once again start the match from the bench \u2014 a decision that raised eyebrows given that Mbaye found the back of the net in the defeat to France.<\/p>

Norway Starting Lineup:<\/strong> Orjan Haskjold Nyland; Julian Ryerson, Kristoffer Ajer, Torbjorn Heggem, David Moller Wolfe; Martin Odegaard, Sander Berge, Fredrik Aursnes; Alexander Sorloth, Erling Haaland, Antonio Nusa.<\/p>

Senegal Starting Lineup:<\/strong> Edouard Mendy; Krepin Diatta, Kalidou Koulibaly, Moussa Niakhate, El Hadji Malick Diouf; Idrissa Gana Gueye, Lamine Camara, Pape Gueye; Ismaila Sarr, Sadio Mane, Nicolas Jackson.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Both Norway and Senegal will enter their World Cup Group I matchup Monday with the same starting lineups from their opening games. Norway coach Stale Solbakken kept the squad that defeated Iraq 4-1, while Senegal retained the side that fell 3-1 to France.
