The Norwegian has flown to Oslo ahead of the friendly against the Faroe Islands on Thursday. However, the temperature has dropped below freezing in Norway's capital, which has forced the Manchester City forward to cover himself up with multiple insulated jackets and headgear, leaving only his eyes visible.
The striker shared a selfie on his Instagram story with the emoji of a freezing polar bear to emphasise the chilly conditions.

Norway are third in Group A and cannot secure direct qualification for Euro 2024 as Spain and Scotland have already confirmed the two available slots. However, Haaland & Co can still make it out of the group and seal their place in Germany via the playoff route which will be contested in March 2024.
DID YOU KNOW?
The City striker heads into this match on the back of scoring a brace against Chelsea last weekend in a 4-4 draw. Moreover, he has already scored six goals in the current qualifying campaign for Norway and Stale Solbakken will once again look to his star goalscorer to deliver the goods in the next two fixtures.

Haaland will have the opportunity to fine-tune his chemistry with his international team-mates against the Faroe Islands on Thursday before taking on Scotland at Hampden Park on Sunday.
