Nora Mørk out for Slovenia clash

Norway star Nora Mørk has been taken out of the squad for Thursday’s match against Slovenia, as confirmed by the IHF’s website on Wednesday night.

The 33-year-old right back has been replaced by utility back court player Thale Rushfeldt Deila.

After a shock opening round loss to Sweden, Norway have found their rhythm at the Olympic tournament and currently sit in a three-way tie atop group A.

The reason for the replacement has not been disclosed yet but a medical reason is required for any switches.

Rushfeldt Deila is likely to occupy the right back position, alongside the versatile Stine Skogrand for the match on Thursday at 21:00 CEST. She was involved in the squad for the opening two matches of Paris 2024 before being replaced by the returning Henny Reistad.
