Erling Haaland dismissed from international duty over injury concerns.
The Norwegian FA have revealed that Erling Haaland has been sent back to Manchester City after doctors found he was carrying a groin injury.
Haaland played 63 minutes in City’s 6-0 FA Cup win over Burnley, which was enough time for him to record a hat-trick, but after the game, he complained of soreness in the region.
Soon after, he departed to join up with Norway, but the Scandinavian team has since revealed that Haaland has been returned to Manchester for more treatment.

“Erling Braut Haaland had some pain in his groin after the match against Burnley,” a statement read.
“We hoped that this was just a familiarity 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’, says national team doctor Ola Sand. Haaland thus travels home from the national team meeting.”
