Brann player Nea Lehtola has created a problem for his influencer girlfriend following an incident at an airport. The situation could have repercussions for Brann's ambitions to qualify for European football next season.
"Brann-spilleren har gitt influenser-kjæresten et problem," said Lehtola.
The incident occurred when Lehtola and his girlfriend were seen with teammate Daniel Rantanen at an airport. This comes at a time when Brann sit seventh in the Eliteserien with 29 points from 21 games. The team has won its last two matches, including a 2-1 victory over Bodø/Glimt last weekend, and faces a key home fixture against league leaders Viking on October 9th.
With a chance to gain ground on the top, on-pitch focus is critical. A distraction like this can create unnecessary attention around the squad. Brann's upcoming fixtures include the aforementioned Viking match, which is key to staying in the hunt for a Conference League qualifying spot. As the team also deals with some absentees on the injuries list, unity and concentration are more important than ever.
