Vidar Riseth did limp after the Brann match, and will be more closely examined on Tuesday.

Minutes before the game ended, the Rosenborg defender got hit hard in a duel and had to be carried off. He may have stretched one or more ligaments in his knee.

"I enter a duel where I get the opponent's shoe directly in the knee by the knee cap, and that made for a full stop," Riseth ascertains to rosenborg.info.

Well equipped with half a dozen ice bags and thoroughly taped, Riseth limped out of the dressing room. The defender is to be examined Tuesday.

"Probably I have over-stretched a ligament, or something like that. The examination will tell for sure, but right now it doesn't feel good," Riseth says, though he doesn't fear that the autumn season will be spoiled. Still, it is probable that the cup match against Steinkjer will be played without him.
