During the current international break, Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker, has had an injury while representing his country, Norway, against the Faroe Islands. This injury has left the coaching staff and supporters of his side terrified.

In a friendly encounter, Norway defeated the Faroe Islands 2-0. After entering the game as a replacement in the second half, Haaland hurt his left ankle in the final minutes as a result of the uneven surface.

After the game, the Norwegian national team’s coach said, “I think he’s okay. He finished the game after getting hurt, so I haven’t spoken to him yet, but it doesn’t seem serious.”

Haaland‘s current injury, which occurred during his latest Manchester City match against Bournemouth, is a mild ankle sprain, the club doctor revealed. To get a more complete picture of his condition, Haaland will be examined again.

Haaland‘s availability for the 10th round of the Euro 2024 qualifying competition against Scotland is reportedly questionable, and it is unlikely that he would be used extensively during the match.
