Maresca Faces Anxious Wait over Haaland Injury Scare
Manchester City’s manager said he hopes Haaland’s foot problem is not serious after the striker scored twice and left in discomfort.
- On Saturday, Manchester City extended their perfect Premier League record to seven wins with a 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town, though Erling Haaland and Antoine Semenyo limped off in the closing stages.
- Phil Foden and Haaland's brace established City's lead before Zian Flemming's penalty narrowed the gap, and Haaland appeared in pain following a stoppage-time challenge with Jack Clarke.
- Manager Enzo Maresca confirmed that Matheus Nunes, Mateo Kovacic, and Nico O'Reilly were substituted due to issues, with Semenyo replaced in the 77th minute due to a suspected knee problem.
- Maresca remained optimistic about Haaland, stating, "I asked him and he said he was okay," though he identified Semenyo's knee problem as the most serious issue requiring further assessment.
- The 26-year-old Haaland is likely to be rested on Tuesday, with City hoping he returns for next Saturday's match against Villa after scoring 12 goals this season.
