Erling Haaland has been given a short break after international duty with Norway, BongdaPlus reported, citing The Sun. Norway coach Stale Solbakken said the striker was tired after a demanding schedule and that his substitution in the 67th minute of the 2-1 defeat by Portugal had been planned. Haaland is expected back at Manchester City on Thursday. The update concerns workload management and does not confirm a new injury or a definite absence against Liverpool. His availability remains subject to assessment after his return to the club.
