September 2025
Erling Haaland required three stitches after colliding with a bus door while on international duty. The striker posted pictures of the cut under his lip, joking about his “battle scars.” Fortunately, the injury is minor and won’t keep him sidelined. Despite the incident, Haaland remains in strong early-season form, with three Premier League goals in as many matches. Fans of Norway and Manchester City were relieved the injury wasn’t serious, as City hope his scoring form can inspire another title challenge.
