Haaland updates his fans on a small injury

Taking to Snapchat, Haaland let his fans know that he had met with a small accident while going to the hotel on the app. He said:

“Just got banged out by a bus door. Three stiches.”

He then added: “Looks actually quite good.”

Some might see it as a light-hearted injury, but the fans will feel relieved as their marksman has avoided a serious injury. The Manchester City forward will be ready to feature in the next match when Norway resume their qualifiers campaign.

They are currently in Group I, and at the top of the table with 12 points. Meanwhile, other nations alongside them are Israel, Italy, Moldova, and Estonia.

Meanwhile, Haaland will be eager to lead his nation to wins in the September break matches. Norway will count on him to lead the attacking line and take onus of goalscoring.

He has started the new season in his typical goalscoring form, recording three goals in three Premier League matches despite Manchester City securing only one win in those matches.

The 25-year-old will look to leave those defeats behind him when he takes the field in a national colour shirt. His main objective will be to ensure that his side grabs those much-needed wins and solidifies their top spot in the group.
