Town forward Sindre Walle Egeli has been named in the Norway U21s squad for their European Championship qualifiers later this month.

The young Norwegians take on Israel at the Szekto Stadium, Kecskemét in Hungary on Friday 14th November, then Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Stadion Grbavica in Sarajevo on Tuesday 18th November.

Norway are second in their group having beaten Slovenia 5-0 at home in their only match so far, Walle Egeli scoring once and assisting twice.

The 19-year-old has previously won eight U21s caps, scoring three goals, as well has having made one senior appearance as a substitute.

The nine group winners plus the best group runner-up qualify directly for the tournament which will be held in Albania and Serbia in 2027, while the eight other group runners-up go into play-offs for the last four places.

Linkboy13 added 16:53 - Nov 4 Starting to show his ability at QPR on Saturday with a lovely cross for Hirst. A number of my mates have commented that Hirst didn't acknowledge Egelis assist for the goal and that he pushed him away. I have watched it a number of times he definitely ignored him not sure if he pushed him away though. Hirst has had a pretty mediocre season so he should be grateful for any assistance he gets especially from a young lad like Egeli having played the game myself i know how it feels.
