Bodo/Glimt could be forced to do without their star striker Ola Solbakken for the Conference League quarter-final against Roma tomorrow.

The first leg kicks off in Norway on Thursday at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

Solbakken has found the net six times in his 10 Europa Conference League games so far this season, along with two assists.

That included a brace during the 6-1 victory over Roma in the group stage on October 21 and a goal in the 2-2 draw at the Olimpico.

Since then, Bodo/Glimt have eliminated Celtic and AZ Alkmaar from the competition and reunite with Roma tomorrow.

However, according to Sky Sport Italia, Solbakken may well not be ready to play in the first leg, as he is struggling with flu symptoms.

He is said to be in bed with a fever and is still waiting for the results of a COVID-19 swab.

It would be a bitter blow for Bodo/Glimt, as 23-year-old Solbakken is their top scorer so far this season.
