Erling Haaland left a mascot in Manchester City with suspected whiplash and concussion after a playful knock against the back of her head.
The woman, who worked as an alien “Moonbeam”, was struck by the 6ft 4 -striker for a competition with Southampton.
She went to the hospital after she was playful while she worked as hairy Alien Moonbeam, initially she believed she was hit by a stray football.
A club probe later knew the Norwegian striker before City decided not to renew the contract of the furious uni -graduate.
The woman, who does not want to be called, has also submitted an attack complaint to the police.
Last night she accused the “arrogant” Premier League giants of a “cover-up” to protect Haaland.
She started as a city temperature last June and occasionally worked as Moonbeam on competition days and earned around £ 100 at a time.
Before the Southampton collision on October 26, she felt two strokes to the back of her head while posing for a photo.
She said it left her in shock and when she walked off the field, she asked a colleague: “What the hell was that hit?”
She remembered: “He said:” It was erling. He hit you from behind '.
“I was pretty upset and I was crying and my head was pounding and I think I was in shock.
“I later realized that he would come behind me and hit me on the head and then leaned on my head.”
She told the security boss of City who is said to be smiling and said, “At least you can say that there was getting you.”
After the incident, the woman got the chance to go home, but continued to work.
She said that she later vomited and suffered neck and headache before she was judged the next day by the first doctor of the city who suggested that she would go to the hospital.
The A&E Notes of the Salford Royal confirmed its symptoms, although a CT scan did not damage the light.
The health and security head of City, Paul Kenyon, launched a probe and told the woman to look at CCTV.
She said, “I asked if someone had spoken with Erling and he said,” No, they don't want to distract him. “
She added: “I was offended because I was the one who hurt, but I was asked all the questions.”
The probe concluded that the striker, 24, did not cause its injuries.
A report stated: “Erling Haaland always makes a soft touch on the back or the head of Moonbeam as a recognition.”
It says that images only 'budget' the mascot.
The woman returned to her role in the ticket office, but was told that she would have to request again to renew her contract.
After an interview of half a day, she was informed last December that she had not been successful.
She said: “I have never had complaints from one of the managers about my work.
“They said they didn't feel that I had played in the interviews up to the 100 percent that I usually do.”
Greater Manchester Police also told her that Haaland had not acted with maliciousness.
Last night she hit to City and said: 'I am sure that erling would have apologized if they had given him the chance.
“But they just wanted to wipe it under the carpet.”
A spokesperson for the city said it “fully investigated and discovered that none of the evidence, including video images, supported the claim that an injury was contracted in the way”.
It added: “We also know that a complaint has been filed with the police of Greater Manchester and no further action was taken.”
