FA Cup: Haaland Suffer Injury Scare Ahead Of Semifinal Clash Against Chelsea

Pep Guardiola has revealed Erling Haaland could miss Manchester City's FA Cup semifinal against Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday.

Haaland was substituted before the start of extra time in City's Champions League quarterfinal second leg defeat against Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Guardiola said after the penalty shootout loss that the Norway striker asked to be withdrawn but did not give a reason why.

The City boss has now confirmed Haaland suffered an injury against Real and suggested it was not certain his leading scorer would recover in time for the FA Cup holders' clash with Chelsea.

"We will see. It was a tough game, a lot of action, high intensity for both sides," Guardiola told reporters. "Erling felt something, a muscular issue. That's why he told me he could not continue. The doctor said he had a little bit of niggles, a little problem, we will see how his evolution is in the next hours."
