After Manchester City were reportedly found guilty on almost all of the charges relating to their breaches of the Premier League’s financial regulations, the Norwegian Football Federation decided not to make striker Erling Haaland available for the media on Saturday ahead of Sunday's Nations League fixture against Portugal in Oslo.

Haaland was scheduled to attend a press conference on Saturday morning ahead of Norway's Nations League match against Portugal on Sunday in Oslo.

However, late Friday evening, the Norwegian Football Federation made the following announcement to the domestic and international media: "We are making changes to tomorrow's press conference. (Stale) Solbakken, (Fredrik) Aursnes, and (Andreas) Schjelderup will be attending."

The announcement from the federation came a few hours after major news broke regarding Haaland's club, Manchester City, who have reportedly been found guilty of 114 breaches of the Premier League's financial rules, which could result in severe punishment for the club.
