Blow for City as Haaland set for spell on sidelines
- Manchester City forward Erling Haaland sustained a left ankle injury during their FA Cup quarter-final win against Bournemouth on Sunday, leading to his substitution in the 61st minute.
- Haaland's injury occurred in a challenge with Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook, where his foot was planted and squashed, causing a potential sprain.
- Haaland, who equalized for City and recently scored his 30th goal of the season, was seen leaving the stadium on crutches wearing a protective boot as a precautionary measure.
- Following initial tests on Monday, Haaland will consult a specialist to determine the full extent of the injury, with potential scenarios ranging from minor irritation to more serious ligament sprains that could sideline him for four to twelve weeks.
- While City expects Haaland to be fit before the end of the season, including the FIFA Club World Cup in June/July, his absence adds pressure as they fight for a top-four Premier League finish and prepare for an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest on April 26.
