Erling Haaland was pictured leaving the pitch on crutches and wearing protective boots after Manchester City’s FA Cup quarter-final win over Bournemouth.
Haaland was substituted in the second half at the Vitality Stadium shortly after scoring the equaliser for City after a clash with Lewis Cook, who fell on his ankle and hit advertising boards around the pitch. The forward
attempted to continue after receiving first aid before signalling to the bench that he could not continue upon his return.
City now face a nervy wait before learning the extent of the setback but it is currently unclear whether the protective gear was simply a precautionary measure.
A red-faced Haaland had missed a penalty during the first half after Tyler Adams’ handball, his low effort kept out by Kepa Arrizabalaga down low to his left. He also later blazed over a golden chance after racing onto a long ball inside the box.
But he made amends shortly after the half-time restart by burying an inch-perfect cross from young substitute Nico O’Reilly at the far post.
He was replaced by Omar Marmusc, คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย who scored the winner for City three minutes later to set up a semi-final against Nottingham Forest at Wembley.
Pep Guardiola provided an update on Haaland’s condition after the game with just eight words, saying: “I don’t know yet. We will have to wait and see how he is doing,”
the video shared on TikTok and X may have raised concerns among Man City fans, however, as Haaland was seen walking off the pitch cautiously on crutches and protective boots.
