Norway are expected to restore their two most-important players to their starting line-up today, with Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard likely to be needed against a dangerous Ivory Coast team.
The sides will clash in the World Cup round of 32, with a tough last-16 tie against Brazil on the line, but neither nation can afford to look past the other in Dallas.
Norway, playing at their first finals since 1998, escaped their group by thrashing Iraq and winning a thriller with Senegal. Their final group game was a 4-1 loss to favourites France, but with coach Stale Solbakken making 10 changes, there was little shame in that.
Those changes included resting Haaland and Odegaard, who are likely to start here, against an Ivory Coast side who saw off Ecuador and Curacao and were only beaten by Germany in the final moments.
