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."

But you guys you always talking rubbish about Halland that he is not a threat because he is just a tap in, he cannot score outside the box. If he is not a threat why are you complaining about fake injury. Nonsense

The injury is not much and he cannot be risk to play for his National team because we have very congestion fixtures ahead of him and we want him to be involve in all of that. So guys don't be angly too much, he is our player and we decide how to use him. if your club is not satisfy you club is free to recall all your players in international duty resume with immediate effect.
