Erling Haaland asked to be substituted and limped from the pitch during Norway's defeat to Portugal on Sunday, but his manager has played down fears of a serious issue.

Erling Haaland requested a substitution and limped off in the 67th minute during Norway's defeat against Portugal on Sunday, raising concerns ahead of Manchester City's upcoming clash with Liverpool. However, Norway manager Stale Solbakken played down worries about a serious injury, explaining that the striker actually stayed on the pitch longer than originally planned.
Teammate Patrick Berg also attributed Haaland's early exit to fatigue, noting that he had played extensively across the international break. Manchester City face key fixtures against Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain, but initial signs indicate the forward may have simply suffered from exhaustion rather than significant damage.
