Haaland’s Injury Forces Him to Withdraw from Norway Squad for Euro 2024 Qualifiers

The Norwegian Football team is set to face Spain and Georgia in the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers, but unfortunately, they will be missing their star player, Erling Haaland.

The young striker also broke the record for the youngest player to score 30 goals in the competition, which was previously held by his competitor Kylian Mbappe.

In a recent game against RB Leipzig, Haaland scored an astounding five goals, a feat only achieved by Lionel Messi and Luiz Adriano before him. Pep Guardiola praised the young striker, calling him a gift to football and highlighting his incredible competitiveness and mentality.

Haaland is also on the cusp of setting a new record for the most goals by a Premier League player in all competitions, with only three goals needed to surpass the current record.

He also has his sights set on breaking the record for the most goals in a single Premier League season, which is currently jointly held by Manchester United legend Andy Cole and England legend Alan Shearer at 34 goals.
