Wolves Forward Withdraws from National Team Duty After Suffering Injury
Wolverhampton Wanderers have been dealt a blow as striker Jorgen Strand Larsen has withdrawn from the Norway national team squad after suffering a broken hand. The 25-year-old forward sustained the injury just days before Wolves’ recent Premier League clash with Everton but showed incredible resilience by continuing to play through the pain.
Larsen, who has been a key figure for Wolves this season, picked up the injury in training two days before his side’s 1-1 draw with Everton. Despite the setback, he was still deemed fit enough to start the match and lasted until the 74th minute before being substituted. His commitment to the cause was evident, and Wolves fans will have admired his determination to play through discomfort.
However, the Norwegian international wasn’t done yet. Just days after the Everton fixture, Larsen retained his place in the starting lineup against Southampton and produced a match-winning performance. The in-form striker bagged a stunning brace, leading Wolves to a crucial victory. His two goals not only secured the three points but also took his Premier League tally to an impressive nine goals for the season, reinforcing his status as one of Wolves’ most important attacking players.
Larsen’s Injury Forces National Team Withdrawal
Despite his heroic efforts for Wolves, the injury has now caught up with Larsen, forcing him to make the tough decision to withdraw from international duty with Norway. The forward had been called up for his country’s upcoming fixtures, but after medical assessments, it was determined that he would not be able to participate.
Norway, who were counting on Larsen’s presence in attack, will now have to adjust their plans in his absence. The decision to pull out of the squad is likely a precautionary measure, ensuring that he does not aggravate the injury further and allowing him time to recover before Wolves’ next Premier League fixtures.
Wolves will now monitor Larsen’s recovery closely, with hopes that the injury won’t keep him sidelined for long. The club will not want to lose one of their most consistent attacking threats at such a crucial stage of the season. His nine-goal tally has played a vital role in Wolves’ campaign, and his recent form suggests that he could be a game-changer in their push for a strong finish in the league.
While Larsen’s withdrawal is undoubtedly disappointing for Norway, Wolves fans will be relieved that the forward is prioritizing his recovery. His bravery in playing through injury and still delivering top performances speaks volumes about his dedication to the team. The focus will now be on his rehabilitation, ensuring he returns to full fitness as soon as possible.
With Wolves looking to finish the season on a high, they will be eager to have Larsen back and firing once he has fully recovered. For now, though, the Norwegian star will take a well-earned break from international duty as he heals from his unfortunate setback.
