Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he has not spoken to Erling Haaland about his injury, with the medical team not reporting anything serious.
The City striker suffered the injury late in Saturday’s 4-0 Premier League win over Newcastle, and was left on the ground clutching his right knee.
The Spanish boss said he has not spoken to Haaland เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย about his condition but hopes it is not serious as the team have a crucial Champions League game away to Real Madrid in midweek.
“When he went down, everyone was scare – he got up, he walk and smile like he always does,” Pep said. “I haven’t spoken to him yet, but the doctors haven’t given me any bad news. Hopefully he’ll be ready for the game against Real Madrid.”
Until Haaland’s enforced departure two minutes from time, City had enjoyed one of their best afternoons of the season as they ruthlessly put one of their top-four rivals to the sword.
Unusually it was not the prolific Haaland, who was standing in as captain for the rested Kevin De Bruyne, who did the damage for City this time.
The day belonged to new signing Omar Marmoush, who scored a scintillating hat-trick in the space of 14 first-half minutes to effectively put the game beyond the Magpies.
The win moved City above Chelsea, who lost to Brighton on Friday, into fourth place in the table with 44 points from 25 games.
