Erling Haaland gave Manchester City fans a scare during training ahead of their Champions League fixture against Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday. The prolific striker went down clutching his right leg, grimacing in pain after a non-contact incident, before slowly rising to his feet.
Haaland, who has scored 14 goals in 14 games this season, has reportedly been dealing with discomfort in the same area since City’s 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth, where he required treatment. Despite this scare, Haaland has been named in the squad for Tuesday’s game. City’s squad has already been impacted by injuries, with key players like Ruben Dias, John Stones, and Jack Grealish sidelined.
However, the team has been bolstered by the returns of Savinho and Kevin De Bruyne, who were on the bench during the Bournemouth game. Manager Pep Guardiola expressed optimism regarding De Bruyne’s recovery, adding that both Kyle Walker and Jeremy Doku are progressing from their respective injuries.
