Erling Haaland sustains unusual facial injury on Norway team bus
Erling Haaland is left requiring stitches on his face following an unexpected mishap while on international duty with Norway. The 24-year-old Manchester City forward netted the sole goal in Norway’s 1-0 victory against Finland on Thursday and is currently gearing up to take on Moldova in their next World Cup qualifier. However, he will be doing so with a new battle scar after a run-in with a bus door. Haaland disclosed the occurrence via Snapchat, posting an image of a cut beneath his lip along with the caption: “Just got banged out by a bus door. Three stitches.” Norwegian news source VG reported that he was hit by a luggage compartment door while leaving the team bus, although the injury is deemed not serious. @ErlingHaaland displaying his battle scar on Snapchat… while humorously blaming Martin Ødegaard for it pic.twitter.com/LgbcQai8QT— City Chief (@City_Chief) September 7, 2025. Known for his sense of humor, Haaland invited fans to provide “wrong answers only” regarding the incident. When one fan suggested that teammate Martin Ødegaard was at fault, the striker responded with: “Correct.” He later joked that the cut “looked good.” Norway is aiming to secure a spot in their first World Cup since 1998, with four victories out of four matches – including four goals scored by Haaland – indicating they are on the right track. If the team’s leading striker can withstand a bus door, it seems likely he can tackle whatever defenders throw at him next. READ THE LATEST FASHION, CULTURE AND LIFESTYLE CONTENT FROM 90MIN
