In a setback for Manchester City, Erling Haaland confirmed his absence from Norway’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Scotland due to a painful ankle injury sustained in their match against the Faroe Islands.
Although termed “not serious” by the team doctor, Haaland, who expressed hopes for a speedy recovery, will miss the crucial clash as Norway fights for qualification.
