Manchester City striker Erling Haaland will not be available for the Norwegian national team due to groin niggles. The 22-year-old suffered the injury in the match against Burnley in the FA Cup.
The Norwegian Federation announced his withdrawal from the training camp on Tuesday morning. Haaland will return to England to be treated by Manchester City doctors.
Norwegian national team doctor Ola Sand spoke about the striker's condition: "We hoped that this was just an injury 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."
Moreover, Norway manager Stale Solbakken spoke to the press and told them: "Erling took it hard when he realised that he could not fight for the team. Fortunately, there is still plenty of self-confidence, talent and cohesion in this group to win points in the next matches. We are not going to hang on one millimetre, but continue our work to be prepared for Saturday and Tuesday," he said.
