Torbjorn Heggem - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Limited impact in loss Heggem registered two tackles (one won), two clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus England.

Impact Heggem closed his World Cup participation with a quiet defensive outing, as he fell short of his tournament average of 4.0 clearances per game. He ended up with apparent cramps, which likely won't force him to miss any official match given that Norway have been eliminated from the summer competition.

Average outing in win Heggem had two tackles (two won) and two clearances in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Brazil.

Impact Heggem took part in a variety of defensive actions while racking up 74 accurate passes as his team enjoyed more time on the ball during this game. However, the defender fell short of his previous numbers in terms of clearances and saw his side's clean sheet slip away in the final minutes. In any case, he'll likely stay in the lineup for the next round, having played over 80 minutes in each of his four appearances in the tournament.

Limited in win Heggem recorded one shot (one on goal) in Tuesday's 2-1 victory versus Cote D'ivoire.

Impact Heggem wasn't involved overly much during Tuesday's win. Kristoffer Ajer dominated the stat sheet defensively and Heggem didn't have any chances to get forward really. It was a good win, and a nice showing by the entire Norwegian defense. Heggem will have everything to do against Brazil's attack in the round of 16.

Logs five clearances versus Senegal Heggem won two of two tackles and had five clearances and one block in Monday's 3-2 win over Senegal.

Impact Heggem put together a busy stat line but wasn't too attentive and reactive on the two goals, in particular the first one, as Ismaila Sarr burst through on his side. He was briefly checked by the medical staff before subbing off at the 84th minute, so he might need to be assessed before Friday's clash with France. He was replaced by Leo Ostigard. He has recorded at least one tackle, for a total of three (all won), and five clearances, accumulating 11 through his first two outings, but with no clean sheets.

JUNE 23 • ROTOWIRE

Leads team in accurate passes Heggem registered one tackle (one won) and six clearances in Tuesday's 4-1 victory versus Iraq.

Impact Heggem was chosen as expected ahead of Leo Ostigard to partner Kristoffer Ajer in central defense, continuing the partnership he had built in the recent two warm up games. He was a key figure in Norway's ball circulation, helping the team progress play out from the back, and led the side in accurate passes with 80. Defensively he contributed six clearances and one tackle, while winning three of the four duels he contested.

JUNE 17 • ROTOWIRE

Defender for Norway Heggem is expected to be a starter at the 2026 World Cup for Norway.

Impact Heggem is going into the World Cup with the Netherlands and looks to be set for decent time, as the defender is likely to start at center-back. He comes off a season, earning a decent 23 starts in 27 appearances this campaign, notching six clean sheets in his time on the field. He will then be relied on heavily with his partner in the center of the defense, as Julian Ryerson will join the attack on the right, almost creating a three-back for the rest of the defense. However, if Heggem has a rough match or is ineffective, Leo Ostigard is a decent shout to earn the starting role over him.

JUNE 10 • ROTOWIRE

Shows well in Roma contest Heggem won three of three tackles and had three interceptions and four clearances in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Roma.

Impact Heggem returned to the starting lineup after three games and was the best defender for his side, but it didn't suffice to stop the opponents. Bologna played with an extra man in the back in this one, which could lead to more opportunities for every center-back. He has notched 12 clearances, six tackles (five won) and five interceptions in his last five appearances (three starts), with no clean sheets.

DNP in continental bout Heggem (thigh/conditioning) stayed on the bench in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Roma in the UEFA Europa League.

Impact Heggem returned to the squad after two tilts but wasn't fielded. He hasn't played in a month and a half due to various muscular problems and subpar form at this point. He'll have to seize his next opportunities to resume being a regular at the expense of Martin Vitik and Nicolo Casale.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Called up for Roma clash Heggem has been named in Bologna's squad list for Thursday's Europa League contest against Roma.

Impact Heggem will be available after working on his fitness for a couple of weeks and dealing with multiple ailments. He'll likely be eased into action since he hasn't played in a month, and Martin Vitik and Jhon Lucumi have fared adequately. He has notched at least one interception in his last five appearances, amassing seven and adding five tackles (four won) and three blocks over that span, with no clean sheet. Moreover, he has logged at least one clearance in every game, averaging 4.33 per tilt.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Pisa match Heggem won't be involved Monday to work on his conditioning for a few days, Bologna announced.

Impact Heggem has dealt with a few different ailments in recent weeks, and the coach decided to leave him home to practice rather than making the trip. Two among Martin Vitik, Jhon Lucumi and Nicolo Casale will play in the middle of the defense.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Selected for SK Brann clash Heggem (back/quad) has been called up for Thursday's UEFA Europa League game versus SK Brann.

Impact Heggem was ruled out late prior to the last Serie A game because of a new ailment compared to the one that had forced him to miss time, but he didn't sustain a significant setback and could return to action either midweek or against Pisa on Monday. Martin Vitik and Jhon Lucumini have been starting consistently as of late.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Late scratch for Udinese contest Heggem won't be available Monday due to back spasms, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.

Impact Heggem will resume missing time after recently nursing a quad injury and returning to the bench in the last UEFA Europa League game. Martin Vitik and Jhon Lucumi are teaming up in the middle of the defense for the third game in a row, while Nicolo Casale and Eivind Helland will be the deputies.
