Norway head coach Ståle Solbakken said: ‘Erling took it hard when he realized he couldn’t fight for the team.
‘Fortunately, there is still a lot of self-confidence, talent and cohesion in this group to score points in the next games.

Pep Guardiola had joked that the striker was substituted to prevent him from breaking Lionel Messi’s record, but it seems that it could also have been to prevent the injury from getting worse.
Haaland raised his season tally to 42 with a sixth hat-trick of the season in the win over Burnley, equaling Cristiano Ronaldo’s best tally for Manchester United when they won the Ballon d’Or.
Speaking after being awarded man of the match, Haaland said: ‘No, I haven’t [set myself that as a target].
‘I’m a striker, I love to score goals, but my objective is not to score goals but to take advantage of chances. If I get the chance, there’s a good chance I’ll score.’
Haaland added that he was happy for the team after recent ‘impressive’ results.
City boss Guardiola is hopeful that Haaland will be available for his next Premier League game, which will take him on against Liverpool at the Etihad on April 1.
Norway coach Ståle Solbakken confirmed that Haaland would not be fit for the Norway games.
