Why Chelsea-owned Norwegian-Nigerian striker was missing from league action Saturday
Published: November 19, 2022
An explanation for the absence of Bryan Fiabema from Forest Green Rovers' matchday squad against Oxford United was provided by Forest Green Rovers before kickoff on Saturday afternoon.
Manager Ian Burchnall could not call upon the services of the Norwegian-Nigerian striker in his side's 1-1 draw with Oxford United at The Kassam Stadium.
Forest Green Rovers revealed via a tweet that Fiabema wasn't available for selection because he's away on international duty.
The Chelsea-owned player was named in the Norway national team U20 squad for Under 20 Elite League match against Germany (November 19) and Belgium (November 23).
Against Germany today, Fiabema came on in the 63rd minute to replace Lasse Selvåg Nordås - his debut for the age group after previously earning caps for Norway at U15, U16, U17, U18 and U19 levels.
Overall, the 19-year-old has recorded 38 appearances for Norway's youth teams, scoring fifteen goals.
Fiabema will also miss Forest Green Rovers' Papa Johns Trophy clash against Cheltenham Town on Tuesday as the game will take place a day before Norway U20s face off with Belgium.
