For a reason that has not been explained, this team will be made up entirely of professionals playing outside Norway, with the exception of one player who plays in the Norwegian Championship and has contracted the virus in the recent past.

The selected players are due to assemble in Norway, where they will remain confined before flying away on Tuesday.
