Erling Haaland suffers scare in Norway training ahead of Manchester City’s showdown with Arsenal

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, who was injured during training with the Norwegian national team, has been reassured by Norway's team doctor. Haaland, who missed nine games due to a foot injury, has scored four goals in eight Premier League appearances since returning in late January. Despite the injury scare, Haaland played 87 minutes in a 2-0 victory over Newcastle, helping City secure a spot in the FA Cup semi-finals.

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland caused concern among fans after limping out of training with the Norwegian national team. The 23-year-old joined up with Norway for friendlies against the Czech Republic and Slovakia but appeared to pick up a knock during team training.

Haaland, who stands at 6ft 4in, was seen limping off the pitch while clutching his leg, sparking fears about his fitness ahead of City’s crucial Premier League clash with Arsenal after the international break. However, reassurance came from Norway’s team doctor, who stated that there was “no problem” with Haaland’s injury status. This incident comes after Haaland missed nine games earlier in the season due to a foot injury. Since his return in late January, he has scored four goals in eight Premier League appearances, contributing significantly to City’s title push.

Despite the injury scare, Haaland managed to enjoy a brief trip to Marbella with his girlfriend before returning to help City secure a place in the FA Cup semi-finals with a 2-0 victory over Newcastle. He played 87 minutes in that game before being substituted. City will hope for Haaland’s swift recovery as they aim to close the gap on league leaders Arsenal in the upcoming match.

Oye ya basta, ayer se lesiona Enderson, ahora Haaland. Siempre igual, tanto ManCity como Barça siempre resultan a sus jugadores con falsas lesiones. Pep avisa a sus jugadores, se lesionen y a los 3 días están bien. Fíjate tú.
