Norway coach Stale Solbakken admits there's frustration after Erling Haaland was forced out of their squad.

The Manchester City striker has returned to England after Norway medics diagnosed a groin injury, so ruling him out of their Euro qualifiers.

Solbakken said: "I had a very broken Haaland in my hotel room at twelve o'clock last night. He was hit.

"After this press conference, I will not use the word Erling Haaland in my mouth for the next 10-11 days. I will not answer a single question after this press conference here about Erling Haaland.

"I was told by the national team doctor that it was not possible. Being the slightly aggressive trainer that I am, I said that it is not possible, Ola? He was supposed to stay.

"Then I tried to persuade the medical department that we could wait a bit, but it was no use. The damage is what it is. He will not be ready."
