Norway Coach Says Haaland Is Exhausted After Demanding Club and International Schedule

Norway coach Stale Solbakken says Erling Haaland is feeling the effects of a demanding run of matches for club and country. Haaland was substituted in the 67th minute of Norway’s UEFA Nations League match against Portugal after an ineffective outing. Solbakken said the Manchester City striker was “thoroughly spent” and noted that some players had only a few days of rest before the new season and international fixtures. The coach said Haaland faces one of the heaviest workloads because Manchester City compete across multiple competitions and he remains central to both club and country. City’s medical and coaching staff will monitor him closely after the international break.
