Champions League'He's got every defender on the ropes' – Ferdinand full of praise for five-goal Haaland14/03/2023 AT 23:11 «Erling Braut Haaland had some pain in his groin after the match against Burnley,» read a statement from Norway. «We hoped that this was just a familiarity that would carry over to Saturday, but after doing tests and examinations yesterday it became clear that he will not make it to the games against Spain and Georgia. »It is better that he receives medical follow-up at the club, says national team doctor Ola Sand.
Haaland thus travels home from the national team meeting.” Haaland has scored 42 goals in 37 games this season for City but has yet to help Norway qualify for a major tournament, despite scoring 21 times for his country. When the Premier League returns, City face Liverpool in a match that will be shown live on BT Sport. Norway have only qualified for the European Championship once in their history, which came in 2000, and begin their qualifying campaign against Spain on Saturday and Georgia next Tuesday.
