VERY SAD NEWS has been announced for Manchester City Star Erling Haaland as he was spotted wearing a protective boot and walking on crutches after sustaining an injury during Manchester City’s 2-1 win at Bournemouth on Sunday

Manchester City’s star striker Erling Haaland suffered an injury during Sunday’s 2-1 win at Bournemouth, leaving the team anxiously awaiting the extent of the damage. Haaland, 24, was forced off in the 61st minute after a challenge by Lewis Cook caused him to twist his ankle and crash into the advertising boards.

The incident occurred when Haaland attempted to win the ball back from Cook, but the Bournemouth midfielder’s tackle sent the Norwegian striker tumbling to the ground. Haaland’s ankle appeared to buckle under the impact, and he was left clutching at his leg in pain.

Despite initially attempting to play on, Haaland was eventually replaced by Omar Marmoush, who made an instant impact by scoring with his first touch of the ball. The Egyptian winger’s goal proved to be the winner, as Manchester City booked their place in the FA Cup semi-finals.

However, the victory was marred by concerns over Haaland’s injury. The striker was later spotted wearing a protective boot and walking on crutches, although it remains unclear whether this was a precautionary measure or a sign of a more serious injury.

Haaland’s afternoon had already been marked by frustration, having missed a first-half penalty and squandered several other scoring opportunities. His injury has added to the uncertainty, with manager Pep Guardiola admitting that he is still unaware of the extent of the damage.

“I don’t know yet, we will have to see,” Guardiola told ITV in his post-match interview. The Spanish manager’s cautious tone reflected the uncertainty surrounding Haaland’s injury, and the potential implications for Manchester City’s season.

Haaland’s importance to Manchester City cannot be overstated. The Norwegian striker has been in sensational form this season, scoring goals at an incredible rate. His absence would be a significant blow to the team’s chances of winning silverware, and Guardiola will be hoping that the injury is not as serious as it initially appeared.
