But disaster has again struck for Haaland and Dortmund, after it was confirmed he suffered another injury.
Manager Marco Rose said: “Erling will be out, we’ll be without him for a couple of weeks even.
“He has a hip flexor injury which simply doesn’t make it possible for him to play. It’s the same thigh, but another location.
“Erling was really down yesterday because he was happy to be back again.
“That he’s out again is not good for us, it’s not great for the lad, but Erling will get all the support he needs from the club, from the team.”
Taking to Instagram, Haaland, 21, posted: “Time to focus on my recovery. I’ll be back stronger!”

Haaland, who already has 13 goals in ten matches this season, was subject to transfer interest from Chelsea in the summer.
But the Blues instead signed Belgian Romelu Lukaku, 28, for a club-record £97.5million fee.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel recently admitted his interest in signing Haaland, and did not rule out a future partnership with Lukaku.
He said: “We have talked about Haaland a couple of times also in the transfer window. It looked unrealistic and not possible to do.
“Of course we talk regularly about him because he is a fantastic player and a profile at Dortmund, which is a big rival for us in the Champions League.
“Sign Haaland with Lukaku? I’ve no problem to talk about that. Let us see what will happen next weeks”

Kamba and his wife Christina, 41, are appearing before a German court in Essen this week.
The footballer came through Schalke’s academy, playing alongside future stars such as Manuel Neuer and Benedikt Howedes.
He went on to join lower-league sides SV Zweckel and VfB Huls.
Kamba was reported to have been killed in a car crash in his native Congo in 2016.
However, he resurfaced in Germany last year, working as a chemical technician for a company that previously employed him in 2013.
Essen court spokesman Thomas Kliegel told Bild newspaper that the Kambas had taken out a life insurance policy for Hiannick.

The official said Christina had cashed it in for £1m after producing documentary proof of her husband’s death.
But Kliegel added: “The defendant turned up at the German Embassy in Kinshasa two years later, claiming he had been kidnapped.”
Christina’s lawyer Michael Wolff insisted she had not organised a scam, insisting she was shocked both by reports of Hiannick’s death and by news he was in fact still alive.
Wolff said: “We are convinced that by the end of the trial both the prosecutors and the court will be convinced of my client’s innocence.
“The money is still available, and it has since been seized. It has been invested in a house and put into accounts.”
Christina told Bild: “I have nothing to do with any deception. The news of Hiannick’s death shocked me as much as anyone else.”

BAYERN MUNICH star Lucas Hernandez will start his six-month prison sentence on October 28 after turning up at court a day early to receive his official jail notification.The France international had been expected to attend court in Madrid on Tuesday to be told he must enter prison within ten days to begin his sentence for breaching a restraining order.

But the 25-year-old defender started the ball rolling on the ten-day deadline by showing up ‘voluntarily’ to receive a copy of the judge’s order on Monday.
His early appearance means he now has until a week next Thursday to enter a Spanish prison of his choice.
The development comes just less than a week after it emerged his request to have his prison sentence suspended, had been rejected.
He was sentenced in December 2019 after breaching a restraining order preventing him from going near his then-partner Amelia Lorente, but allowed to remain a free man while he sought a suspension.
Hernandez received 31 days community service and a restraining order, preventing him from going within 500 metres of pretty brunette Amelia for six months, in March 2017 after being convicted of a domestic abuse charge.
His partner received the same punishment.

Lucas was arrested on June 13 ,2017, at Madrid Barajas Airport as he got off a flight from Miami with Amelia following their honeymoon in the States.
She reportedly escaped arrest at the time after she proved she had not been informed about the restraining order.
The Marseille-born defender, capped 29 times by France at senior level, failed to get his prison sentence suspended because he is not a first-time offender in Spain.
Confirming Hernandez was now in receipt of his official prison entry notification, a spokesman for the judge who made the order said in a statement naming the Frenchman only as Lucas Francoise B.H.
He said: “He showed up voluntarily at court this morning at 11.30am.
“It was one day before he was summonsed by Madrid Criminal Court Number 32 so he could be informed about his entry into prison for breaching his restraining order.
“Given that he collected his notification on October 18, he now has 10 days to voluntarily present himself in prison. That expires at midnight on Thursday, October 28.”
Hernandez’s fate now lies with the result of a final appeal to a higher provincial court called Madrid’s Audiencia Provincial.

Hernandez and Amelia married in Las Vegas in the summer of 2017 despite being told they must stay away from each other following the domestic violence incident.
They are thought to have tied the knot in secret on June 2 that year, where they went on to have a son called Martin.
In March 2019 Amelia revealed on social media they were no longer together.
She said at the time: “A mother always thinks twice, once for her and another time for her son. Only you and me my baby.”
Hernandez is expected to wait until he knows the result of his final appeal before turning up at the prison of his choice in Spain to start his sentence.
