Norway's Stale Solbakken Voices Concerns on Haaland's Fatigue

Stale Solbakken, the manager of the Norway national football team, raised concerns regarding the physical condition of Erling Haaland, the striker for Manchester City. After a UEFA Nations League match against Portugal, where Haaland was substituted in the 67th minute, Solbakken described him as “thoroughly spent.” He attributed Haaland's fatigue to the heavy workload from both club and international matches, stating that some players had only six or seven days of holiday before the season began.

Solbakken emphasized that Haaland is among those carrying the heaviest workload, as Manchester City competes in multiple tournaments and relies heavily on him as their main striker. The coaching and medical staff at Manchester City are expected to monitor Haaland's condition upon his return to the club, as domestic action continues.
