Injury Blow for Man City As Haaland Suffer Ankle Injury


Manchester City has been dealt a significant blow on Monday with leading scorer Erling Haaland set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering an ankle injury as the season reaches its climax.

The 24-year-old Norwegian was injured in Sunday’s 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final win at Bournemouth. After scoring his 30th goal of the season to level the tie, he was hurt in a challenge with Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook.

The Premier League champions did not provide a timeline for the player’s return. “The expectation is that Erling will be fit in time to play a further part in the remainder of this season, including this summer’s FIFA Club World Cup,” said a club statement.

City is currently fifth in the Premier League and battling to ensure a spot in the Champions League next season.

Pep Guardiola’s side faces matches against Leicester and Manchester United this week. They then have a visit from Crystal Palace and a trip to Everton before their FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest, at Wembley on April 26.
