Progressing ahead of Brazil clash
Ryerson (thigh) is improving day by day and is targeting a return for Sunday's round of 16 clash against Brazil, though he has not confirmed his likelihood of featuring, according to his own statement, per Avisenagder. "It's getting better day by day. I will do everything I can to be ready."
ANALYSIS
Ryerson was forced off during Norway's second group stage match against Senegal and subsequently missed the fixtures against France and Ivory Coast, making his return one of the more closely watched fitness developments in the Norwegian camp heading into the knockout stage. His availability for Sunday will depend on how he responds to training over the coming days, with Marcus Pedersen or Fredrik Aursnes expected to start at right-back should he be unable to feature against Brazil.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Man United keeping close tabs
Manchester United are interested in Ryerson, according to Sky Sports Germany.
ANALYSIS
Manchester United want to sign a player who could compete for the starting role at right-back with Diogo Dalot, and Ryerson fits the bill. The Norway international is under contract until the end of the 2027/28 season, so it would take around 30 million to pry him away from BVB this summer.
