Norway manager Stale Solbakken has explained that Erling Haaland will miss the upcoming game against Republic of Ireland after a decision was made in collaboration with Manchester City.
The 22-year-old has been in scintillating form for Pep Guardiola's side this season, with the prolific frontman registering 23 goals and three assists in 18 appearances in all competitions. However, Haaland has been struggling with a foot injury in recent weeks and missed the games against Sevilla and Leicester City.
While the forward will not feature for his country against Republic of Ireland on Thursday, he could play in the friendly against Finland on Sunday.
