Erling Haaland withdraws from Norway squad, provides injury update ahead of Liverpool game

Erling Haaland has confirmed that he has picked up an injury that rules him out of Norway's game against Scotland.

However, he has vowed to be back as soon as possible, with Man City's clash against Liverpool next weekend in mind.

Haaland tweeted: "Unfortunately, I am missing tomorrow’s game against Scotland. Wishing the boys all the best. Now treatment and trying to get back asap."

If Haaland's injury is minor, it means that he will get extra days off ahead of his return to club football.

The game at the Etihad Stadium will be an early Saturday kick-off, so it will be crucial to have players as rested as possible during the international break.
