Man City suffer major Erling Haaland blow ahead of key Premier League title clash vs Arsenal

Manchester City star Erling Haaland has been subbed off in his side's clash against Aston Villa with a suspected thigh injury. His withdrawal comes just three days before City take on their Premier League title rivals Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.

The exact extent of his injury is unclear but Sky Sport cameras caught the forward receiving treatment on the side of the pitch after colliding with Emi Martinez. An injury would be a massive blow for City with Haaland relentless in the Premier League this season scoring 25 goals in 20 appearances.

Despite his knock, the Norwegian forward was involved in City's second goal against Villa crossing for Ilkay Gundogan after Rodri had given the hosts the lead. Riyad Mahrez also scored a penalty just before half time, a surprising taker given Haaland, City's usual taker, was still on the pitch.
