Matheus Nunes has revealed the extreme emotion on show when Pep Guardiola revealed to the players he would be stepping down as manager, with the right-back saying some Manchester City personnel were in tears. The Spaniard stepped down at the end of last season after a decade in-charge, with former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca taking over. "It was unexpected," Nunes said of Guardiola's decision.
Once Norway's lineup against England was unveiled, the exclusion of Antonio Nusa raised some eyebrows among fans. Norway are in the midst of a historic World Cup run and will look to extend it to the semifinals when they face England in the quarterfinals. However, the absence of Antonio Nusa from the starting lineup was one of the first talking points when the teams were announced. Nusa has been dropped from the starting XI by head coach Stale Solbakken following an underwhelming performance in the Round of 16 against Brazil. The RB Leipzig winger was unable to make his mark on that match, and Solbakken has decided to make a change on the left flank as a result. Andreas Schjelderup gets the nod in his place. The Benfica forward was the standout substitute against Brazil, coming off the bench to deliver two assists for Erling Haaland and effectively deciding the match, a showing that has earned him a start against England. Nusa had been a near-permanent fixture in Solbakken’s starting lineup throughout the tournament, with his only substitute appearance coming in the group stage against France, when qualification was already secured and rotation was expected. But his exit at halftime against Brazil opened the door for Schjelderup, who made the most of his opportunity and has not looked back. Antonio Nusa #20 of Norway competes for the ball against Matheus Cunha #9 and Danilo #13 of Brazil. Nusa could miss an eventual semifinal His place on the bench is not necessarily a long-term concern, as Solbakken regularly rotates his attacking line and Nusa is likely to see minutes at some point against England. The more pressing issue, however, is the disciplinary risk he carries into this match. Nusa is the only Norway player currently one booking away from a suspension, having been shown a yellow card in the Round of 32 against Ivory Coast. A caution against England would rule him out of a potential World Cup semifinal against either Switzerland or Argentina.
In the expected match at the 2026 World Cup between Brazil and Norway, Lucas Paqueta is not ready to play. For the important 2026 World Cup match in which Brazil play against Norway, Lucas Paquetá won’t be part of the squad or on the bench after a recent injury left him unavailable. The reason Paquetá is not playing against Norway is a muscle injury to the back of his left thigh, as confirmed by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). The midfielder picked up the injury during Brazil’s 2-1 victory over Japan in the Round of 32 and was unable to continue after halftime. His absence opens a spot in the lineup after Paquetá had started every match for Brazil before the injury, which proves how important the midfielder has been for Carlo Ancelotti. Carlo Ancelotti on Paquetá Losing Paquetá is an important setback for Brazil because of the balance he brings in midfield. Even so, Ancelotti expressed confidence in the options available to replace him depending on the tactical approach for the match. Ancelotti described the midfield situation (Lars Baron/Getty Images) The manager explained that several players are capable of filling the role, as he detailed: “We have players in our squad with the quality of Paqueta but each with different characteristics, like Danilo, who is different from Gabriel Martinelli, from Matheus Cunha, from Ederson.” Ancelotti said: “The choice will depend on how our team plays, taking into account the opponent’s strength. Defensively, we need someone on the left like Paqueta, and both Martinelli and Danilo can do that. With the ball, they need to effectively fill the left midfield role.” The next match This round has proved that no team can relax, no matter how good they look on paper before the match. However, the bracket has already been set, with the winner of this match advancing to face either England or Mexico in the quarterfinals.
