Manchester City‘s Erling Haaland experienced a recurrence of a recent injury during Norway’s 2-0 victory over the Faroe Islands, according to Norway’s team doctor Ola Sand.
Haaland, who came on as a second-half substitute, suffered the setback while converting a back-post tap-in, getting his foot stuck beneath him. Despite receiving on-field treatment, he managed to finish the game.

This injury is a source of concern for Manchester City fans, as Haaland had previously been replaced at half-time in a match against Bournemouth on November 4 but recovered in time to play against Young Boys in the Champions League.
The 23-year-old striker also played the full 90 minutes and scored twice in City’s recent 4-4 draw against Chelsea before the international break. This also included his infamous goal from his B***s.
