Norway manager Ståle Solbakken has named Manchester City striker Erling Haaland among those released from his squad over the weekend to offer him some much-needed rest.
Haaland kept Norway’s perfect start to World Cup qualification intact at the weekend with a hat-trick in a 5–0 victory over Israel. His second goal on the night was his 50th for Norway, reaching the half-century mark faster than any other player in the last 53 years.
