Overview

• Norway’s striker was struck in the face by a luggage compartment door as the squad arrived at their team hotel in Oslo.
• He was assisted into the hotel and treated on site by team doctor Ola Sand, with senior security adviser Geir Ellefsen accompanying him.
• The cut near his lip required three stitches, and he later posted a selfie on Snapchat explaining what happened.
• Haaland made light of the situation by joking with fans online, including a tongue‑in‑cheek reply that pointed to Martin Ødegaard.
• Coach Ståle Solbakken said it could have been worse but confirmed there is no danger of him missing Tuesday’s qualifier, with Norway leading Group I after four wins from four.
