Haaland misses Norway’s European Championship qualifiers in Scotland: “He’s in too much pain”

Before Man City vs. Liverpool

Erling Haaland will be missing from the Norwegian national team in the European Championship qualifier this Sunday in Scotland. The association announced this before the game at Hampden Park in Glasgow. The 23-year-old Manchester City striker, with a market value of 180 million euros, the most valuable footballer in the world along with Kylian Mbappé, suffered a foot injury in a friendly against the Faroe Islands on Thursday.

Norway’s team doctor Ola Sand explained: “The injury is not serious, but he is in too much pain and his function is somewhat limited, so unfortunately the Scotland game comes a little too early.” The Norwegians are in third place in Group A the two qualified teams from Spain and Scotland and therefore no longer have a chance of direct qualification, but could possibly still fight for a ticket via the playoffs.

It is also questionable whether he will be available to Man City again immediately after the international break. The duel against Liverpool FC awaits in the Premier League on November 25th, before RB Leipzig is hosted in the Champions League in Manchester three days later. “Unfortunately I will miss tomorrow’s game against Scotland. I wish the boys all the best. Now getting treatment and trying to come back as soon as possible,” Haaland tweeted.
