Erling Haaland needed stitches in his face after a bizarre accident in international service with Norway.
The 24-year-old Manchester City striker scored the only goal of Norway 1-0 victory over Finland on Thursday and is now preparing to face Moldova during their last qualifier for the World Cup. But he will do it with a fresh battle scar after facing a bus door.
Haaland revealed the incident on Snapchat, sharing a photo of a cup under his lip alongside the legend: “I just got hit by a bus door. Three stitches. ”
Norwegian Outlet VG reported that he had been struck by a luggage door leaving the team’s bus, although the injury is not considered serious.

One misses a joke, Haaland asked fans of “bad answers” on how it happened. When a teammate suggested that teammate Martin Ødegaard was responsible, the attacker replied: “correct”. He later joked that the cup “looked good”.
Norway has been pushing to qualify for its first World Cup since 1998, and with four four -game victories – plus four goals in Haaland – they look good on the right track.
And if the team’s star striker can survive a bus door, it is likely that he can manage the defenders who are trying.
