After selling his son on fantasy premier league, alfie haaland has sparked fears that erling haaland is about to have a long time on the sidelines. As spotted by @fplfocal on twitter, the 51-year-old brought in mohamed salah and alexander isak of newcastle to replace pep guardiola’s goalscoring machine out of his squad ahead of manchester city’s 2-1 victory over luton on sunday. Astor haaland’s brother and his partner, isabel haugseng johansen, followed suit, potentially indicating that the norwegian’s injury could be worse than initially expected. The 23-year-old is currently suffering from a bone pain in his foot. Guardiola spoke of the problem ahead of his team’s dramatic victory at kenilworth road: “after the last game against aston villa, he felt it and he cannot play.” I don’t know the severity of the injury. We’ll see what happens week after week, day after day. Erling has been so vital since he was born, that’s for sure. But this is just the season. We have to cope with injuries, suspensions, and problems.

Erling Haaland has been suffering with a foot issue
Alfie Haaland has raised fears Erling Haaland is set for an extended spell on the sidelines after selling his son on Fantasy Premier League.
Haaland’s brother Astor and girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen also followed suit – potentially indicating the Norwegian’s injury could be worse than initially suggested. The 23-year-old is currently suffering from a bone stress reaction in his foot.
Guardiola said of the problem ahead of his team’s gutsy triumph at Kenilworth Road: “After the last game against Aston Villa, he felt it and he cannot play. I don’t know [the length of the injury]. Week by week, day by day, we will see what happens. Erling has been so important since he’s arrived, that’s for sure. But during the season we see this sort of thing. Injuries, suspensions, problems, we have to adapt.”
Lierpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Man City and Tottenham’s next six fixtures in title race
City hope Haaland will be fit to feature in the FIFA Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia later this month. The Premier League champions face Crvena zvezda in their final Champions League group match in Serbia on Wednesday before hosting Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Once the match is out of the way, City do not return to Premier League action until December 27 when they face Everton – which may also have played a part in Alfie Haaland’s thinking.
Alfie Haaland refused to captain Premier League golden boot winner Salah who bagged 13 points in Liverpool’s dramatic 2-1 win at Crystal Palace.
