Haaland Skipped Presser After City Violations

Norway football manager Ståle Solbakken revealed Erling Haaland was shielded from press questions after Manchester City's violations case, confirming the striker will start against Portugal.

Norway football manager Ståle Solbakken explained that Erling Braut Haaland was shielded from Saturday's press conference following revelations that his club, Manchester City, has been found guilty of numerous violations. Despite Haaland originally being scheduled to attend alongside Solbakken, the City news changed the plans.

Solbakken confirmed he was involved in the decision to protect Haaland, stating the matter has nothing to do with their upcoming Nations League match against Portugal. 'It is of course that we want to give him the best possible conditions to concentrate on the match,' the Norway manager said. blablasex.es
