Erling Haaland reveals whether he has spoken to Jude Bellingham ahead of Norway vs England
Norway stand in England’s way of booking a spot in the semi-finals of the World Cup.
Strikers Erling Haaland and Harry Kane are expected to have a big say in which side makes it through to the final four after electric starts to the tournament for both.
However, it will be a reunion of such between Haaland and England’s Jude Bellingham following their time together at Borussia Dortmund.
Haaland and Bellingham formed a strong friendship in Germany as they both broke onto the scene at a young age.

Haaland’s social media posts have gone viral as he has now addressed his friendship with England superstar Bellingham ahead of Saturday’s game.
Whether Erling Haaland has spoken to Jude Bellingham ahead of Norway vs England
It has been a sensational summer for Haaland, who is still well in the race for the World Cup Golden Boot having scored seven goals.
Haaland has loved this summer’s World Cup having taken in the culture of the United States.
But Saturday means business for the 25-year-old, which has been summed up by his lack of contact with good friend Bellingham.
“I haven’t spoken to him. The last time I spoke to him was when I met him in Las Vegas, but I haven’t spoken to him since,” Haaland told TV 2 Sport.
“He’s probably focused on himself, England, and everything that’s going on there.”
Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi (8) have now taken the lead in the race for the Golden Boot, with both scoring one more than Haaland.
It has also been a successful tournament for Bellingham, who has found the back of the net four times.
With Kane, Haaland and Bellingham showing their quality this summer, it would be no surprise to see any of these three scoring the winning goal on Saturday.
