Erling Haaland leaves Norway camp as Man City handed injury scare before Liverpool clash

Manchester City hotshot Erling Haaland has been forced to withdraw from the Norway squad after picking up a groin problem.

The 22-year-old has returned to his club, where he has scored eight goals in his past two appearances, for further tests on the injury, which Norway say he picked up in the 6-0 FA Cup quarter-final win over Burnley on Saturday.

Haaland will miss his nation's opening two Euro 2024 qualifiers away to both Spain and Georgia, and could now face a race against time to return for the resumption of the Premier League when Liverpool go to the Etihad Stadium for the 12.30pm kick-off on April 1, a crucial match for City in the title race as they currently sit eight points behind leaders Arsenal.
