Haaland came on as a halftime substitute for Norway in a 2-0 win over the Faroe Islands in a friendly and sustained a little twist in his ankle. The news was broken by Norway team doctor Ola Sand post the game, the Associated Press reported.
According to Dr Sand, Erling Haaland's ankle was a little bit vulnerable.
"It really hurts right away, and then, it goes away pretty quickly. So, we'll see tomorrow how he is, Sand told Norwegian TV.
