Man City provide crucial update on Erling Haaland injury | OneFootball

Current Premier League holders Manchester City will once again be stripped of the services of star man Erling Haaland.

An official statement has been fielded by the club, revealing the prognosis surrounding the 21-goal man; an injury to his left ankle.

"The Norwegian striker sustained the injury during Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final victory away at AFC Bournemouth."

"Erling underwent initial tests in Manchester on Monday morning and will now seek specialist consultation to confirm the full extent of the injury."

"Assessment remains ongoing to ascertain a full prognosis. 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."

"Everyone at the Club wishes Erling a speedy recovery."

For the time being, this puts Haaland out of contention for Wednesday's home clash against Leicester.

With further updates to follow in due course, the former Borussia Dortmund wonderkid is potentially slated to be out for a matter of weeks.
