Haaland to see specialist after ankle injury confirmed

Erling Haaland will need to see a specialist after the Man City striker suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's FA Cup win over Bournemouth.

The forward was forced off with injury in Sunday's 2-1 victory, having earlier scored City's equalising goal in the comeback triumph.

Shortly after the Norwegian striker put City on level terms, Haaland's left foot was caught under a challenge from Cherries midfielder Lewis Cook.

He initially carried on but was eventually replaced by Omar Marmoush, who went on to score City's winner.

A City statement read: "Manchester City FC can confirm that Erling Haaland has suffered an injury to his left ankle.

"Erling underwent initial tests in Manchester on Monday morning and will now seek specialist consultation to confirm the full extent of the injury.

"Assessment remains ongoing to ascertain a full prognosis. The expectation is that Erling will be fit in time to play a further part in the remainder of this season, including this summer's FIFA Club World Cup.

"Everyone at the club wishes Erling a speedy recovery."
