Arsenal lead the way in the Premier League title race and have been handed a huge boost following the news of Manchester City star Erling Haaland's groin injury. The 22-year-old striker has withdrawn from Norway's squad and will return to Manchester, missing the upcoming fixtures against Spain and Georgia during the international break.
Arsenal fans have theorised that City had planned to 'fake' Haaland's injury to allow him to return to the Etihad Stadium and recover ahead of a crucial end to the season. Haaland has scored a ridiculous 42 goals in just 37 appearances in all competitions this season for Pep Guardiola's side.
City signed the Norwegian superstar from Borussia Dortmund in a £51million deal last summer and he has had an instant impact at the Etihad Stadium. Haaland is currently leading the golden boot race with 28 goals in just 26 games for the reigning Premier League champions.
