Erling Haaland has become increasingly active on social media, with Snapchat emerging as his preferred platform. The Manchester City superstar recently shared an update on the app, revealing a minor injury to his face, according to [TV2](https://www.tv2.no/sport/blodig-haaland-drama-matte-sy-etter-bussdoren-smalt-i-leppen/18074911/).
Haaland’s Incident with the Norway Squad
----------------------------------------
Haaland is currently with the Norway national team ahead of their World Cup qualifying match against Moldova. The team will be relying on him to lead the attack, and his fitness is expected to be crucial for their chances of securing victory. Despite the importance of his availability, Haaland suffered a small cut to his lips following an accident on the team bus.
The striker posted an image of himself with the injury, showing a small amount of blood on his face. Reports indicate that he was assisted by the team doctor to his room for treatment. It is unclear whether the photo was taken before or after the medical intervention, but the injury does not appear to be serious.
Light-Hearted Response
----------------------
Haaland approached the incident with characteristic humour, captioning his Snapchat post: “It actually looks pretty good.” His reaction reflects his calm and positive attitude, even when faced with minor setbacks that could have distracted him ahead of an important match.
The injury is not expected to affect his availability for the game against Moldova. Norway will rely on Haaland to start the fixture, as his presence in the attacking line is essential for their ambitions in the qualifying campaign. Fans and teammates alike can take reassurance from the fact that he appears to be in good spirits and fully capable of playing.
This minor incident serves as a reminder of the unexpected moments athletes sometimes face, even when preparing for crucial matches. Haaland’s professionalism and positive outlook suggest that he will quickly recover from the small injury and continue to perform at the high level expected of one of the world’s leading strikers.
