Erling Haaland: Manchester City striker withdraws from Norway squad with groin injury

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has pulled out of the Norway squad for their opening Euro 2024 qualifiers through injury.

Haaland, 22, picked up a groin problem after scoring a hat-trick in City's 6-0 thrashing of Burnley in the FA Cup quarter-final on Saturday.

It means he will miss Norway's games against Spain and Georgia in Group A.

"Erling took it hard when he realised that he could not fight for the team," said Norway coach Stale Solbakken.

"Fortunately, there is still plenty of self-confidence, talent and cohesion in this group to win points in the next matches."
