Erling Haaland has been a significant player for all the teams he has played for. As the load considerably increased for the youngster, Haaland has found himself in a zone of discomfort with niggles for the last couple of weeks. Amid all the concerns, Norway’s coach has taken time to clarify the player was ‘walking fine’ after the injury scare.

Right from his younger days, the Norwegian has been a game-changer. However, even a minor risk to his fitness can lead to speculation; therefore, the national team manager was quick to drop an update. What’s the verdict?

Erling Haaland’s injury concerns slashed away

In a friendly against the Faroe Islands, Erling Haaland was seen down on the ground battling an injury issue. After concerns regarding the seriousness of the blow, Stale Solbakken came and cleared the air, saying he was getting better with a recovery session.

Solbakken said, “I haven’t spoken to @ErlingHaaland, but I saw he was walking fine in the hallway. There is a recovery session, and then he’ll probably be looked after by Ola and physios throughout the day. Right now, it looks like it’s going well”. The 22-year-old definitely seems to have been struggling with his fitness lately.
