During the second half of Manchester City’s 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final tie win over Bournemouth, Erling Haaland sustained what appeared to be a serious-looking ankle injury. The way Lewis Cook innocuously fell across his ankle did suggest that Haaland could face a prolonged spell on the sidelines. Manchester City yesterday confirmed that Haaland was set to seek specialist consultation on the injury he sustained. Now Pep Guardiola has revealed the timeline that City’s top scorer is set to be out for.
Speaking during his pre-game press conference ahead of his team’s crucial Premier League fixture against Leicester City Pep Guardiola was asked about the extent of Haaland’s injury.
