In the FA Cup quarter-final match, Manchester City's top scorer Erling Haaland sustained an ankle injury, and today the exact timeline for his recovery has been revealed.
Details: Yesterday, Man City confirmed the severity of Haaland's injury, and Pep Guardiola today disclosed how long the team will be without the Norwegian.
Quote:
“The doctors told me that Erling will be out for five to seven weeks.”
This means Haaland, at best, will return only for the last 2-3 rounds of the Premier League. However, he is certain to play in the Club World Cup.
This season, the 24-year-old forward has scored 30 goals in 40 matches across all competitions.
Reminder: After 29 rounds, Man City is only in fifth place in the Premier League. Guardiola's team is fighting for a spot in the Champions League.
