Houllier fury with Norway boss

Last updated : 02 March 2004 By Adam Bryant
The Liverpool boss often clashed with former Norway boss Nils Johan Semb about the treatment of Riise, and now insists he will speak with assistant manager and former Liverpool defender Stig Inge Bjornebye.

"He was injured then he went on international duty with Norway and played 70 minutes which was more than he was supposed to play and he hasn't been fit since," said the Liverpool boss.

"It is typical of a national team. I am not happy about it and I will be speaking to Stig Inge Bjornebye to express my feelings."
