The Manchester City attacker has left the Norway squad with a groin injury
The Spanish national team will play Norway on Saturday without its biggest threat: Erling Braut Haaland. The Manchester City attacker has suffered a groin injury and is not in the selection, his team said in a statement.
For example, the Norwegian misses the two games they played this week in the qualifying phase for Euro 2024 in Germany; Nor will he arrive to meet Georgia. This is how the statement reads:
“Erling Braut Haaland had some pain in his groin after the game against Burnley. We hoped this would be just a nuisance that would carry over to Saturday, but after tests and exams yesterday it became clear that he will not be able to play games against Spain and Georgia. It’s better that he will receive medical follow-up at the club as suggested by team doctor Ola Sand.
Haaland is about to travel home from the national team meeting. Erling found it very difficult when he realized that he could not fight for the team. Fortunately, there is still enough self-confidence, talent and cohesion in this group to score points in the next games. We will continue our work to be fully prepared for Saturday and Tuesday.”
