Norway striker Erling Haaland will miss Sunday's final Euro 2024 qualifier against Scotland on Sunday, his federation has confirmed.
The Manchester City forward, 23, picked up a foot injury in Thursday's friendly win against Faroe Islands.
Scotland and Spain have qualified for next summer's finals in Germany, with Norway currently third in the group and with a possible play-off route.
The Norwegian Football Federation says Haaland's "injury is not serious"
"He is in so much pain and somewhat restricted function that the Scotland game unfortunately comes a little too early, says national team doctor Ola Sand," the NFF said on their website (translated).
Norway will not call up a replacement for the match.
Scotland beat Norway 2-1 in Oslo in June and trail Group A leaders Spain by two points going into the final round of games. Spain host Georgia on Sunday while the Scots and Norwegians play at Hampden.
Georgia led Scotland twice but ultimately drew 2-2 in Thursday's penultimate qualifier, while Spain beat Cyprus.
