Erling Haaland came off with an apparent knee injury in Manchester City’s 4-0 thrashing of Newcastle United on Saturday to hand Pep Guardiola a concern ahead of their Champions League trip to Real Madrid next week.
Haaland went down grimacing and clutching his right leg in the final minutes of the match and was replaced by Matheus Nunez. It was the only negative note on an impressive performance by the hosts, in which Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush scored a first-half hat-trick before substitute James McAtee added a late fourth.
