Breaking: Erling Haaland Ruled Out for Eight Games Due to Foot Injury
MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – In a devastating blow to Manchester City fans, star striker Erling Haaland has been sidelined for a minimum of eight games after picking up a foot injury, according to club sources.
The Norwegian sensation was forced off the pitch in the first half of City’s 1-0 win over West Ham United on Sunday, and further medical examinations have confirmed the severity of the problem.
Haaland, who has made a blistering start to his Premier League career, scoring 11 goals in nine appearances, is expected to miss Manchester City’s next eight fixtures, which includes a crucial Champions League group-stage match against Sevilla.
This could not have come at a worse time for Pep Guardiola’s team, who are currently top of the Premier League table and looking to make a deep run in Europe.
The injury is understood to be a minor fracture in Haaland’s foot, which will require a period of rehabilitation and rest before he can return to action.
Manchester City officials have made no official statement on the severity of the injury, but sources close to the club have confirmed that the initial estimate is for a minimum of eight games out.
Haaland, who joined Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in the summer for a reported £51.9 million, has been a game-changer for the Citizens, bringing pace, power, and clinical finishing to their attack.
His absence is expected to leave a significant void in the City forward line, with Julian Alvarez and Julián Álvarez potential replacements.
