Erling Haaland, Manchester City’s leading scorer, departed the “Vitality” stadium in Bournemouth on crutches following his injury during their FA Cup match, where they secured a place in the semi-finals.

Haaland sustained an injury to his left ankle, his stronger leg, around the hour mark of the match, necessitating a protective boot and the use of crutches for mobility. He had previously missed a penalty in the 14th minute but managed to score in the 49th minute before his injury.

The duration of Haaland’s absence from the field remains uncertain at this time.

City secured their victory and progression to the semi-finals due to a goal scored by Marmoush, who came on as a substitute for Haaland and made an impact within two minutes of entering the game.

In the semi-finals, Manchester City is scheduled to compete against Nottingham Forest, while the other semi-final match will feature Crystal Palace versus Aston Villa.
