Julian Ryerson

Analysis: Ryerson handled the majority of Norway's set pieces and was a persistent threat with his overlapping runs and delivery from the right. He topped the team in crosses sent with nine and chances created with three, and remained solid defensively too, contributing four tackles (three won) and one clearance.

Right-back for Norway

Ryerson is expected to be the starting right-back for Norway at the 2026 World Cup.

Analysis: Ryerson is on the Norway side for the World Cup and will be a starter in most cases, set to serve at right-back. He will be a solid two-way player, not only a decent defender but showing solid playmaking from the flanks on his best days. He is coming off a season with 15 assists on 56 chances created and seven clean sheets in 26 starts (31 appearances) in Dortmund, although this is from a bit more attacking role than he will see with Norway. Either way, he will be a decent shout for a defensive pick, as his forward movement could see him with numerous crosses and chances created. He will also take some duties on corner kicks, although Martin Odegaard is more likely to be the main set-piece taker.
