*LOUIS VAN GAAL TEMPORARILY IN WHEELCHAIR AFTER BIKE ACCIDENT*
Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal is temporarily in a wheelchair after he fractured his hip during a bicycle accident which could force him to miss the crucial World Cup qualifier against Norway.
Following training on Sunday, van Gaal cycled back to the team hotel with his players and coaching staff but fell when putting away his bike.
He was unable to physically attend Monday's news conference but told reporters via Zoom: "I am in a lot of pain. That is why I was in a buggy during training.
The former Manchester United manager was taken to hospital following the accident but was discharged after the injury didn't require surgery.
The 70-year-old suffered a similar situation in 2007-08 campaign as AZ Alkmaar manager when he was in the dugout on a wheelchair after breaking his ankle and fibula.
