WAR: Rambo Henriksen prepares for tough play at Alfheim.
- The games against Tromsø are always war. And nothing indicates that this match will be any different, says Rambo Henriksen.

Rosenborg's assistant coach Rambo Henriksen remembers the last match at Alfheim in Tromsø well, and knows what to expect when Rosenborg visits Norway's most northern Tippeliga side this coming weekend.

- Tromsø is always highly motivated. Maybe the players are even more so when they are up against Rosenborg. These matches are always tough, and we have to be on our toes from the start, warns the Assistant Coach.

This season's first match between the two sides was played at Lerkendal. Former Rosenborg player, Miika Koppinen became the match winner with a header in the second half, and “Rambo” Henriksen confirms that the desire for revenge is clearly present in his squad. But he knows that it will be a difficult task.

-Tromsø has high levels of morale and authority, especially in their mid field.

Norwegian national Tore Reginiussen and former Rosenborg player Miika Koppinen usually form the central defence, but Koppinen has been injured and was ruled out from the match against Vålerenga in the last round. But he might be reported fit for the Rosenborg game.

The situation concerning Sigurd Rushfeldt is less certain. Tromsø's veteran striker was injured 30 minutes into the last match, and it's not clear when he will return.

For Erik Hamrén there is only one uncertain point. Rune Almenning Jarstein, who has been injured for the last few weeks is close to full recovery, and might be back between the posts on Sunday
