Manchester City striker Erling Haaland will be out for up to seven weeks with the ankle injury he suffered in Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final win at Bournemouth.
The Norwegian was substituted in the 61st minute after scoring the equaliser as City went on to beat the Cherries 2-1 and reach the semi-finals.
A video was posted on social media showing the 24-year-old leaving the Vitality Stadium on crutches and with his left ankle in a protective boot.
City announced on Monday that Haaland would see a specialist about the injury and anticipate he “will be fit to play a further part in the remainder of this season including this summer’s Fifa Club World Cup”.
Haaland missed a penalty and two big chances on Sunday, but he turned in Nico O’Reilly’s cross to level the game before Omar Marmoush scored the winner.
The FA Cup is City’s only remaining chance of silverware this season following a difficult Premier League campaign and early exits from the Champions League and Carabao Cup.
