Victim of a twisted left ankle Thursday evening, while Norway faced the Faroe Islands in a friendly (2-0), Erling Haaland seriously worried Manchester City.
Twice in less than two weeks. Already injured in the ankle on November 4 during a Premier League match between Manchester City and Bournemouth (6-1), Erling Haaland once again found himself on the ground for the same problem. Coming into play during the friendly match between Norway and the Faroe Islands on Thursday evening (2-0), the “Cyborg” remained on the ground holding his left ankle, while grimacing very seriously. If the doctor of the Norwegian selection wanted to reassure everyone after the meeting, the serenity is far from total on the Manchester City side.
In comments reported by the DailymailOla Sand therefore mentioned this famous physical glitch: “ It’s pretty much the same thing that happened in Bournemouth a week and a half ago. He suffered a slight twist in his ankle which was a little fragile. It hurts a lot at the time and then it passes quite quickly. We will see tomorrow (Friday) how he goes. For now, he will receive treatment and rest peacefully. » While awaiting feedback on the condition of the left ankle of the second in the 2023 Ballon d’Or rankings, contact has already been established with the Manchester City doctors.
A shock to come
Norway has one final qualifying match for Euro 2024 to play on Sunday in Scotland. Already eliminated, the selection should, a priori, take care of its scorer. The time is now at rest and Manchester City is crossing their fingers that this double alert on the left ankle is not prohibitive for the hoped-for participation of Erling Haaland in the clash against Liverpool scheduled for November 25 (1:30 p.m., 13th day of Premier League).
