Manchester City: is the season over for Erling Haaland?
Fear is growing for Manchester City! Erling Haaland, the Citizens' star striker, was injured during the FA Cup quarter-final against Bournemouth. Seen leaving the stadium with a protective boot and crutches, the Norwegian is causing serious concerns.
The season is turning into a nightmare for the reigning English champions. After losing Rodri to a torn ligament, Pep Guardiola's men have been plagued by underperformances.
Trailing in the Premier League and knocked out of the UEFA Champions League and the League Cup, they have only the FA Cup left to salvage their season.
The prospect of a lengthy absence looms for Haaland
On Sunday, City secured a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth, with goals from Haaland and Omar Marmoush.
However, the satisfaction was short-lived. Haaland, injured in his left foot, left the pitch in the second half. Images shared on social media show him limping, his foot immobilized. Seen here:
The Manchester club has yet to officially comment on the severity of his injury. However, the prospect of a lengthy absence looms, and some British media are already suggesting a possible end of the season for the 24-year-old striker.
A situation that further complicates Manchester City's quest for trophies.
