Manchester City has issued an official statement regarding Erling Haaland’s ankle injury, which forced him off the pitch during Sunday’s FA Cup victory over Bournemouth. The prolific Norwegian striker, who leveled the score at 1-1 with a close-range finish, was substituted shortly afterward and later seen leaving the Vitality Stadium wearing a protective boot.
Amid growing concerns over the possibility of Haaland missing the remainder of the season, the club has provided a reassuring update on his fitness.
According to the statement, Haaland underwent initial medical tests in Manchester on Monday morning and will now consult a specialist to determine the full extent of the injury. The club emphasized that the assessment process remains ongoing as they work to establish a comprehensive prognosis.
Encouragingly, Manchester City expressed optimism about Haaland’s recovery, stating that he is expected to return to action later this season, including participation in this summer’s FIFA Club World Cup.
Fans will be eagerly awaiting further updates as the club continues to monitor the striker’s progress.
