Recognition from fellow professionals
Manchester City and Norway forward Erling Haaland has been selected in the 2026 FIFPRO Men’s World 11, an annual team chosen by votes from professional footballers. He is named in attack alongside Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal.
Haaland rejoins Norway training
Norwegian newspaper VG reported on 11 November that Haaland had returned to national-team training after missing a previous session for what the coach described as minor issues. The report did not describe a confirmed serious injury.
An important international window
Norway are preparing for Nations League meetings with Wales and Denmark. While his return to training is encouraging for supporters, selection and fitness for the games remain decisions for the team’s coaching and medical staff.
