Norway have confirmed a training match against Scotland on Monday has been cancelled because of a couple of minor fitness concerns in Steve Clarke's squad.
The closed-doors game - which was due to be played at Scotland's training camp in Charlotte - was set up to give fringe players of each team game time before the World Cup.
But Norway, who face Scotland's group opponents Morocco in a friendly in New Jersey on Sunday (20:00 BST), have been informed the bounce game is now off.
Norway manager Stale Solbakken said: "The idea of playing Scotland was that we could get some minutes in the legs of the guys who don't play in the Morocco game. The cancellation means I will make more changes in our game against Morocco."
Norwegian FA media manager Morten Morisbak Skjonsberg said: "It is a poorly-kept secret that we were supposed to play a training match against Scotland on Monday.
"Today we learned that Scotland unfortunately had to withdraw from the agreement due to injuries."
