AgenciesAfter hurting his foot in a friendly play against the Faroe Islands, Erling Haaland will miss Norway's last European Championship qualifying match against Scotland, the team doctor announced on Saturday.
Due to an injury sustained during Thursday's friendly, the Manchester City striker will not be available for Sunday's Group A match in Glasgow against Scotland.
Team doctor Ola Sand stated in a statement that although the injury is not serious, the Scotland game is regrettably scheduled too soon due to his extreme pain and partially restricted function.
Having already guaranteed their places at Euro 2024, Spain and Scotland have placed Norway third in the group and are unable to finish in the top two. If the Nordic team advances to the playoffs, though, they may still be able to qualify.
With six goals in the qualifications, Haaland leads Norway in scoring, and coach Stale Solbakken announced he would not be substituting.
With 13 goals this season, Haaland is the leading scorer in the league.
