Man City striker Erling Haaland out for up to seven weeks with ankle injury

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is facing a lay-off of up to seven weeks, manager Pep Guardiola has said.

The prolific Norwegian forward suffered an ankle injury in the second half of City’s FA Cup quarter-final victory at Bournemouth on Sunday.

The setback will rule the 24-year-old out for most of the rest of the domestic campaign but City are hopeful he will still be able to play some part, and then feature at the Club World Cup.

Guardiola said: “Sometimes there are years where these kind of things happen and it’s happened all season.
