Manchester City striker Erling Haaland could be out of action for up to seven weeks, manager Pep Guardiola has said.

The prolific Norwegian suffered an ankle injury in Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final victory at Bournemouth.

The club do not yet know the full extent of the problem, but are hopeful he will be able to play again this season.

Guardiola said: “The doctors told me between five and seven weeks. So hopefully the end of the season and the Club World Cup he will be ready.”
