According to The Sun: Martin Ødegaard admitted that he had never seen anything like the unusual injury of Erling Haaland from a bus door - he was scared that it could have ended 'terribly'.

This shocking incident happened before the World Cup qualifiers against Moldova when the team arrived at the hotel in Oslo. Despite the injury, Haaland is expected to play.
Witnesses say that Haaland shouted 'damn' in pain before Norwegian doctor Ola Sand and senior security advisor Geir Elefsen quickly provided him with help.
Later, Haaland posted a selfie with his wound, and some fans joked that it was the fault of his compatriot, Arsenal captain Ødegaard.
“I didn’t see it, but I heard the door hit him in the face,” Ødegaard commented at the press conference.
“It didn’t sound good, but it seems that everything is alright,” he added.
