There is bad news for Erling Haaland and for Boussia Dortmund, and that is that the year 2021 could be over for the forward. According to the newspaper Bild, the Norwegian suffers a muscle tear in the hip flexor that would prevent him from dressing again in short for the remainder of the year.
Haaland had already been out for almost a month, missing two Bundesliga games and one in the Champions League in addition to the national team break, and reappeared on October 16 against Mainz. However, in the Champions League match against Ajax he would have relapsed from his injury which prevented him from playing the weekend against Arminia Bielefeld.
And now he will be out again and although the club has not set a date for his reappearance, however he is not expected to play again until 2022. “The game against Ajax may have been the last in what remains of year, “said Jan Aage Fjörtoft, a former footballer and close family friend of Haaland.
Coach Marco Rose confirmed the injury although he did not venture to set a date for his return: “I am not a doctor, so I prefer not to speculate. Erling is injured, it is an injury to the same thigh in which he suffered the previous one, but in a different place. ”
If it is true that Haaland will not play until 2022, Dortmund would have to face at least the next two months of competition without their great star and scorer, who will miss up to eight Bundesliga games and the remaining three of the group stage of the Champions League where the pass to the round of 16 is played, in addition to the last national team break of the year.
