Manchester City have been handed an injury concern after Erling Haaland limped off during Norway’s clash with Portugal.

The striker appeared to be struggling in the second half and asked to be substituted before making his way off the pitch in the 67th minute.

Haaland’s withdrawal will be a worry for City, with the forward now set to be assessed ahead of the return of club football.

The 26-year-old had been leading the line for Norway against Portugal in their 2-1 defeat but was unable to finish the match after signalling to the bench that he needed to come off.

City will be hoping the problem is not serious, with a busy run of fixtures coming up after the international break.
