The change comes amid reports surrounding the Citizens’ long-running financial case in England. 

According to The Sun, Haaland’s media appearance was cancelled following reports that the club had been found guilty of 114 financial violations, although Manchester City have not yet been officially sanctioned.

The 26-year-old had scored twice in Norway’s 3-2 win over Denmark on Thursday. 

Norway will host Portugal in Oslo on Sunday, with Portugal entering the game after beating Wales 1-0 in their opening fixture.
