Norway team doctor Ola Sand delivers an update on Erling Haaland

Norwegian team doctor Ola Sand has given an injury status report on Erling Haaland.

The striker, wearing the number 9 for the national team, suffered an injury shortly after entering the pitch during Norway’s 2-0 friendly victory against the Faroe Islands.

Addressing the media after the game, Dr. Sand stated: “It was much of the same that happened against Bournemouth a week and a half ago. He has had it before too. He gets a slight twist in his ankle, where he is a bit vulnerable. It hurts a lot right away, and then it goes away pretty quickly.”

Sand added that Norway had already spoken to Manchester City adding: “Now he will receive some treatment, then there will be peace and rest and then we will see how he is tomorrow morning. We have already spoken to City. Erling has spoken to both City and (chief doctor) Mario Pafundi already.”

The potential recurrence of Erling Haaland’s ankle injury is likely to raise concerns for Manchester City.

Prior to the international break, Pep Guardiola’s team already faced fresh injury worries, with Mateo Kovacic, Nathan Ake, Ederson, and Matheus Nunes withdrawing from national duty due to fitness issues. Rodri was also rested during Spain’s 3-1 win over Cyprus.

The treatment room for the treble winners is currently occupied by John Stones, Kevin De Bruyne, and Sergio Gomez.

With a crucial Premier League clash against Liverpool on the horizon, City is eagerly anticipating positive updates on the injury front.

The focus now shifts to Norway’s upcoming match against Scotland to see if Erling Haaland will be part of the lineup.

Considering the update from Norway’s team doctor, Ola Sand, there is a hopeful indication that the injury may not be too severe.
