CHARLOTTE (Dagbladet): Norges landslagssjef Ståle Solbakken freste søndag kveld mot at Skottland avlyste en lukket treningskamp mot Norge. Kampen skulle etter planen være mandag. Norske reservespillere skulle få verdifull kamptrening - noe ikke alle fikk mot Marokko.
Dagen etter melder en skotsk talsperson følgende i en felles uttalelse om avlysningen:
«Treningskampen bak lukkede dører ble organisert og avtalt mellom de respektive laglederne – ikke hovedtrenerne – og dette var den samme prosessen vi fulgte da vi dessverre måtte avlyse på lørdag.
Vi har hatt noen skader under våre tidligere treningskamper, og da det ble tydelig at en treningskamp ville innebære større risiko enn hva det mulig ville gitt oss i forberedelser, varslet vi Norges lagleder så snart som mulig.
Vi mener dette var den riktige og konsekvente prosessen. Kampen skulle også spilles bak lukkede dører og ikke annonseres offentlig - så vi ble overrasket da nyheten om kampen kom ut via norske medier».
McGinn: - Norge er sinte fordi de har sine planer
Aston Villa- og Skottland-spiller John McGinn sier følgende på en pressekonferanse:
- Skottlands jobb er å passe på Skottland, Norges jobb er å passe på Norge. Vi mistet noen rett før mesterskapet, sier McGinn og viser til Napoli-spiller Billy Gilmour.
Gilmour mistet VM som følge av en skade.
- Vi ønsket ikke å miste enda en spiller. Vi har hatt noen småskader, og ikke alle har vært i trening. Derfor mener jeg, helt ærlig, at dette er en profesjonell måte å håndtere situasjonen på - å sette egne interesser først. Jeg er sikker på at alle andre landslag ville gjort nøyaktig det samme.

Dagbladet spør McGinn om han forstår Solbakkens reaksjon etter Marokko-kampen.
- Norge er sinte fordi de har sine planer. Men dersom Norge hadde mistet Erling Braut Haaland eller Martin Ødegaard i en av kampene før lørdag, ville de også ha avlyst kampen, sier McGinn.
Solbakken kalte det uprofesjonelt.
I dag sier han - konfrontert med skottenes siste uttalelser:
- Altså, det er jo ikke noe poeng å snakke noe mer om den kampen. Den er ferdig, det ble 0-0, sier Solbakken og ler godt.

Unnskyldningen fra skotsk hold er at det har vært skader, ifølge Norges fotballforbund.
Skottland trente i Charlotte i USA i dag. Der trente hele troppen, og det er ingen skader å spore. Dagbladet sitter også på informasjon at det ikke er skader i troppen.
Bernt Hulsker raste mot Skottland i siste episode av VM-podden:
Treningen i Charlotte gikk med full intensitet i varmen. De terpet formasjon og spilte elleve mot elleve.
Dagbladet får opplyst fra flere uavhengige kilder at avlysningen kommer som følge av:
Noe på grunn av varmen.
Frykt for å få skader.
Dagbladet prøvde å få en kommentar fra Skottland-trener Steve Clarke, men han sa nei. Clarke ledet økta i 35 varmegrader - iført bukse og genser.

- Det var minst like overraskende for meg, og det er uprofesjonelt av Skottland. Det er uprofesjonelt at treneren ikke har ringt meg, at de bruker teammanageren og ringer og sier det etter at vi har fullført treningen i går, sa Solbakken om avlysningen.
Skottland vant 4-0 mot Bolivia lørdag.
De spilte på samme arena som Norge gjorde søndag.
