Erling Haaland had a rough international break after an unfortunate incident involving a bus door.
The Manchester City striker suffered an injury to his face when he accidentally walked into the luggage compartment door while exiting a team bus following training with the Norwegian national team. The result? A split lip and a gash on his chin that required three stitches.
Despite the shocking situation, Haaland opted to take it in stride. He shared his experience on social media, posting a humorous photo with the caption: “I look pretty good. Just got hit by the bus door, three stitches.” His light-hearted attitude showcased his resilience and ability to find humor even in painful circumstances.
Fortunately, medical staff confirmed that Haaland is doing well after the incident. The Norwegian national team reassured fans that their star player is in good spirits. Known for his playful banter, Haaland even responded to a fan’s joke on Snapchat, humorously suggesting that teammate Martin Ødegaard was the culprit behind his mishap.
Haaland Is Okay, So Is the Bus Door
Looking ahead, Norway is currently leading its group in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and is set to face Moldova on Tuesday. Haaland, who boasts an impressive record of 42 goals in 43 appearances for his country, hopes to be fit for the match despite this bizarre injury.
