Manchester City’s star striker Erling Haaland has reassured fans after suffering an ankle injury that will sideline him for up to seven weeks.
The Norwegian forward, who has scored 30 goals this season, picked up the injury in City’s FA Cup quarter-final win over Bournemouth.

His absence could shake up the Premier League race, particularly benefiting Chelsea, who previously sit just above City in the table before the Leicester clash.
Taking to social media, Haaland shared an image of himself in a protective boot and on crutches, simply captioning it: “I’ll be back.”
City boss Pep Guardiola confirmed the striker could return before the end of the season or for the Club World Cup, but admitted the team must adapt in his absence.

“We don’t have another player with his qualities, but we’ll find a solution,” Guardiola said.
With City fighting on multiple fronts, including an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest, Haaland’s injury adds another layer of intrigue to the season’s final stretch.
