Erling Haaland was unable to score in his first Premier League match of the 2024/25 in Man City’s 1-1 draw against Newcastle United.
The Norwegian forward also looked in some pain after a tackle from Dan Burn left a hole in his socks.
Haaland was seen bleeding through his sock around his Achilles area but managed to complete the first half.
After the game, Pep Guardiola confirmed Haaland’s new injury and stated: “Erling Haaland had some knocks, we’ll see the next days.”
Man City face Slovan Bratislava in their next UEFA Champions League clash on 1 Ocober and Haaland might be a doubt for that game. The Norwegian forward has 10 goals in six Premier League games this season.
The Norwegian striker’s injury will be a concern for manager Pep Guardiola, especially given Haaland’s importance to City’s attack.
The severity of Haaland’s injury remains unclear, but his ability to continue playing will be closely monitored.
