Joins Norway for World Cup
Nusa is set to start on the left of the attack for Norway at the 2026 World Cup.
Analysis: Nusa is entering his first World Cup as a major young piece for Norway, set to serve as an important attacker from the flanks. The 21-year-old has started to break onto the scene in the past two league seasons, leading to his inclusion in Norway's roster, recording four goals and three assists in his 31 appearances (24 starts) with Leipzig. He will now have to contend with Erling Haaland in the attack, although the focus on the Manchester City forward could leave Nusa a bit more open. With Norway's main way of staying in the tournament being to score, Nusa could be a decent shout for a couple of goal contributions before Norway's exit.
Goal, assist in win
Nusa scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 victory versus Eintracht Frankfurt.
Analysis: Nusa did everything during Saturday's win, he scored and assisted and nearly had another goal contribution. Leipzig were brilliant throughout the match and Nusa was dangerous off the wing every time he got the ball. Frankfurt have been leaky at the back, but even with that in mind this was still an excellent showing by Nusa.
