Even though Manchester City defeated Bournemouth decisively and moved back into first place in the Premier League, manager Pep Guardiola could not be delighted because his “favorite” striker Erling Haaland suffered an injury during the game.

After defeating Bournemouth with a “tennis score” of 6-1 on the evening of November 4 (Vietnam time), Manchester City regained their position as the leaders of the Premier League for the time being. Erling Haaland, known as the “scoring machine” for the Citizens, suffered an injury during the first half and had to be substituted after the break.

Jeremy Doku (30 minutes), Bernardo Silva (33 minutes), and Manuel Akanji (33 minutes) scored for Manchester City in the absence of the Norwegian attacker, but the Citizens still demonstrated their greater class by scoring three goals in just seven minutes. 37), which contributed to the host team from Etihad taking a 3-0 lead going into the halftime break.In the 64th minute, Phil Foden came on as a substitute for Erling Haaland and scored to push the lead to 4-0. Despite the fact that Luis Siniterra brought the score to 1-4 in the 74th minute, Bernardo Silva scored twice in the 83rd minute, and Nathan Ake secured the decisive triumph with a goal in the 88th minute to bring the final score to 6-1.

However, Coach Pep Guardiola could not be thrilled when this encounter resulted in the injury of his favorite student, Erling Haaland. “He has a sprained ankle,” the doctor said. We can only hope that it won’t be a major issue. We don’t want to put ourselves in any dangerous situations with him. Pep Guardiola, the head coach of the team, stated that the findings of the test would be known within the next few hours.

The Spanish strategist gave off an anxious appearance since he did not know if Haaland would recuperate in time to play in the following matches. If Haaland sustains a serious injury, it will be a significant blow to Man City’s chances. Kevin De Bruyne, another key player for The Citizens, is now sidelined with an injury that requires him to be out for an extended period of time.

Man City will play Young Boys in the following match, which will take place in the middle of this week (November 8), as part of the fourth round of the group stage of the Champions League. The following week, in round 12 of the Premier League (November 12), they competed against Chelsea.
