Haaland Skips Presser Over City Issues

Norwegian national team coach Ståle Solbakken confirmed he was involved in the decision to let Erling Braut Haaland skip Saturday's press conference. The Manchester City star was scheduled to attend but did not appear following the club's violation findings.

Solbakken stated the issues with Manchester City have nothing to do with the Nations League, where Norway faces Portugal on Sunday. The coach confirmed Haaland will start in the important match, expressing confidence that the situation won't affect the player's performance. esporist.org
