Haaland injury scare for Man City ahead of Liverpool clash, October 11

Manchester City forward Erling Haaland was forced off after limping during Portugal’s UEFA Nations League match on Sunday, being replaced by Jorgen Strand Larsen in the 67th minute. Haaland had played every minute of Norway’s previous three internationals, scoring a brace in the 3‑2 win over Denmark and netting in the 2‑1 loss to Portugal in the first meeting.

City manager Enzo Maresca said he will await a medical update on Haaland ahead of the Premier League fixture at Liverpool on October 11. The striker has contributed seven goals in seven games across all competitions this season. City will already be without Phil Foden, who serves a red‑card ban, while doubts linger over Nico O’Reilly and Antoine Semenyo for the trip.

For Nigerian fans who follow the Premier League, fantasy leagues or simply enjoy watching City’s title challenge, Haaland’s fitness is a key concern. An extended absence could weaken City’s attack against a resurgent Liverpool side already boosted by Mohamed Salah’s form.

Will you adjust your fantasy Premier League squad now, or wait for the official medical report before deciding how City’s depleted front line might affect their chances at Anfield?
