Norway coach Solbakken says Haaland 'thoroughly spent' after gruelling run of games

Norway coach Solbakken said striker Erling Haaland was 'thoroughly spent' following a demanding stretch of matches. Haaland was substituted in the second half during Norway's 1-2 defeat to Portugal in a UEFA Nations League fixture on Sunday.

The comment reflects concerns about player fatigue amid a congested fixture calendar in club and international football.
