Erling Haaland was seen on crutches and wore a protective boot in one fell swoop to Manchester City after their FA Cup quarter -final victory in Bournemouth.
Haaland was forced during the second half in the Vitality Stadium shortly after the Equalizer scoring the city, when he was entangled with Lewis Cook, who then fell on his ankle, and bumped with the advertising hammers around the field.
The frontman tried to play after a treatment, but immediately gave the bank that he could not continue after returning to the field.
He was replaced by Omar Marmoush, who scored the winner of the city three minutes later to set up a semi -final draw against Nottingham Forest in Wembley.
Pep Guardiola delivered a short update of eight words when he was insisted on the state of Haaland after the game and said, “I don't know yet, we'll have to see it.”
But a video shared about Tiktok and X will sound the alarm bells in the city's camp. Haaland was indeed carefully seen who left the stadium while he was heading crutches.
Dressed in his Red Club training suit, Haaland headed for the team bus while he was accompanied by a member of the back room staff of the city.
City is now confronted with a nervous guard before he learns the size of the setback, but it is currently unclear whether the protective equipment was simply a precautionary measure.
A red -facing Haaland had missed a penalty during the first half after Tyler Adams's handball, his low effort brought out by Kepa Arrizabalaga Low to his left. He later also struggled about a golden chance after racing on a long ball in the box.
But shortly after the half-time restart he made it by burying an inch perfect cross of the young replacement Nico O'Reilly in the distant post.
City will continue to hunt for one trophy this season, as well as a top four finish in the Premier League, and Guardiola greeted the effort of his players after he had fought back in Bournemouth.
'There are minimal requirements that we have to show – respect for your partner, you have to make the effort. And today we did it, “said Guardiola.
'I spoke with the team during the break, so we are good. We are in your hands.
“We only admitted one shot on goal. That means how Bernardo, KOVA, the senior players, the legendary players who give the most incredible things in the club, put them one step further and have made an excellent performance. '
