The Story in 60 Seconds

Erling Haaland was substituted due to an injury in the 67th minute of Norway's 2-1 Nations League defeat against Portugal on Sunday night. The Manchester City striker signaled to manager Stale Solbakken before being replaced by Jorgen Strand Larsen in Porto. Goncalo Ramos later scored the winning goal for Portugal, who held on despite a red card for Francisco Conceicao.

The potential setback comes ahead of Manchester City's upcoming clash against Liverpool on October 11. Manager Enzo Maresca faces several squad concerns, with Phil Foden suspended and fitness doubts over Nico O'Reilly and Antoine Semenyo. The injury also follows an independent commission finding Manchester City guilty of 114 financial charges, which the club is appealing.
