Erling Halaand is returning to Manchester City early due to the ankle injury he suffered with Norway
Haaland came off the bench at half time in Norway’s 2-0 win over the Faroe Islands on Thursday evening but was forced off in the closing stages with an injury to his left ankle.
Norway is due to play Scotland in their final Euro 2024 qualifier on Sunday evening but Haaland has now been ruled out of the match.
Norway’s team doctor Ola Sand said the injury is not serious, but he is in so much pain and somewhat restricted function that the Scotland game unfortunately comes a little too early.
Norway head coach Stale Solbakken described the injury as a shame but said his absence is an opportunity for the offensive players in the squad to show off.
