JAKARTA - Manchester City striker Erling Haaland said he suffered a tear in his face requiring stitches after a strange incident while on international duty for Norway.

The 24-year-old posted a picture on Snapchat showing a tear under the right side of his lips.

"It was just banged on by the bus door, 3 stitches," Haaland wrote.

Norwegian media, VG, reported that he was hit by a trunk door when he got off the bus, but the injury was not serious.

Haaland then joked about an accident on social media, saying the cuts looked good.

Haaland will then prepare a Premier League derby for which Manchester City will host Manchester United on Sunday, September 14, 2025.
