Bell is not being released until his club absolutely have to, after Viking's friendly against Rosenborg on Monday morning NZT.
Their season itself kicks off for Viking in two week's time.

Callum McCowatt similarly isn't being released until after his club Silkeborg's big final regular season game in the Danish league against major side Brondby on Monday am NZT.
https://int.soccerway.com/teams/denmark/silkeborg-if-fs/609/
It's a tussle between sixth (Brondby) and seventh (Silkeborg) on the table, both on 32 points.
"Brøndby and Silkeborg will meet in the 22nd and final round, for the last spot in the coming "Championship rounds".
Silkeborg and Brondby are going to end up thoroughly sick of each other.
They are also meeting in the two-legged Danish Cup semi-final starting May 1 NZT.
Although Silkeborg's schedule means McCowatt will arrive later than is ideal for All Whites duty, it works out well for his club since they have no games between Monday morning's final league game and the Championship or Relegation rounds starting on March 31 NZT.
