BISLETT (VG) First goalkeeper Cecilie Fiskerstrand (26) is out with a ligament injury. If you ask national team coach Martin Sjögren who will compete in the European Championship, the answer is no.

– It’s completely open. I think it is very possible that the goalkeeper who will face New Zealand (25 June) will also face Denmark (29 June) and in the opening match of the European Cup. This is how I think, said Sjögren after a session at Bislett in which all three goalkeepers had to try.

Guro Pettersen (Vålerenga), Aurora Mikalsen (Brann) and Sunniva Skoglund (Stabæk) are fighting to be top picks when we come to the European Championships in England in July.

Nobody has a routine at this level. Together, the three goalkeepers have two internationals: Pettersen (30) made his national team debut against Kosovo in April, Mikalsen (26) made his first international appearance during the Algarve Cup in February and Skoglund (20) only made his U23 debut. . The injured Cecilie Fiskerstrand has 44 international caps.

– We can’t do anything with experience. This is the reality, so we can make the most of it, Guro Pettersen told VG.

– Why do you have to be in the European Championship?

– I’m not the one to decide. It doesn’t matter what I mean. There will be three goalkeepers who will work really hard for that spot, then we’ll see who gets it.

Aurora Mikalsen is also not fooled by the choice of goalkeeper.

– It’s a choice that thankfully isn’t up to me. Martin can take it. We are a good goalkeeper team and we will “support” each other no matter who plays. “To be honest, I think the level is so high that nobody knows who’s going to play when you first lose an obvious first choice like Cecilie (Fiskerstrand,” goalkeeper Brann said.

– When the situation is like that, we’ve been with him for quite a while and know the group well, so it should go well, Mikalsen said of what awaits at the European Championships – initially Northern Ireland 7 July, England 11 July and Austria 15 July.
