Injury from the bus door

Haaland received three stitches after being hit by the door of the Norwegian national team's bus. The incident occurred as he was getting out of the bus at the hotel before the match against Moldova.

As he was exiting the bus, Haaland did not notice the open luggage compartment door, which resulted in it hitting him in the face and leaving blood on his lips.

Assistance was quickly provided by the team doctor Ola Sand and senior security advisor Geir Ellefsen, who escorted him to the hotel and stitched his wounds.

Moreover, Erling visited the dentist. He shared a photo of the injury on social media, writing:

“Just got hit by a bus door. 3 stitches.”

“I didn’t see it, but I heard the door hit him in the face.”

“This is the strangest thing I’ve ever seen. Fortunately, it’s all good.”
