Norway manager gives Erling Haaland injury update after picking Man City star for friendly games

Norway have called up Erling Haaland for two international fixtures next week, despite admitting there is 'uncertainty' over his foot injury.

Haaland returned after missing two-and-a-half games out with a bruised ligament in his foot against Fulham to fire the winning penalty in injury time at the Etihad on Saturday. However, Pep Guardiola admitted he is still 'not perfect' ahead of City's Carabao Cup clash with Chelsea this week and final pre-World Cup Premier League fixture against Brentford on Saturday.

Norway have not qualified for the World Cup, so have arranged two friendlies with Ireland and Finland on November 17 and 20, however, these fall outside of scheduled FIFA international dates for games of that nature, so clubs are under no obligation to release players for the games.
