Per Ciljan Skjelbred is picked instead of Steffen Iversen as right winger against Chelsea.
VS.
"It will of course be much defensive work, but if I get the chance to go forward, I'll take it. I'll nutmeg Joe Cole!" Skjelbred tells rbk.no.
The reason for the pick of "Little Per" is that coach Knut T�rum wants a more movable midfield in the Champions Leauge opener. Alexander Tettey is fight for fight after his thigh injury, and will contribute to the running.
In defence Roar Strand replaces Fredrik Stoor. The team captain has trained for full in five days, and his thigh injury is hopefully fully recovered.
