Erling Haaland was substituted at the break of Manchester City’s Champions League match against Copenhagen in October. He had already scored twice, and only a few days prior, he had defeated Manchester United with a hat trick.
He had scored 19 goals in his 11 and a half games up to that point, had only failed to score in two games (one of which was the Community Shield), and had scored nine straight occasions.

Manchester City v/s Arsenal: Erling Haaland injury
One of the most anticipated Premier League matches of the 2022–23 season will take place on Wednesday night when Arsenal hosts Manchester City.
With a game remaining, the Gunners presently sit atop the standings, three points clear of Manchester City in second place. With a victory at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night, City will overtake their rivals because to their better goal differential.
The team of Mikel Arteta will be eager to shake off their mini-funk, which has seen them draw 1-1 with Brentford, lose 1-0 to Everton, and suffer a 1-0 loss to City in the FA Cup. Due to a minor injury to Erling Haaland, the Citizens may be without their star striker for the journey to the capital.
“Right now I don’t know,” City manager Pep Guardiola said when asked if the former Borussia Dortmund man will play against the north Londoners. “We will have to see over the next few days.”
“We will have to see over the next few days. He got a knock and was uncomfortable so at 3-0 up we didn’t want to take the risk. We will assess him and if he’s not ready we will play someone else. Hopefully he is ready.”
But City later turned to social media, implying that the in-form striker will be prepared to face the Gunners. They shared a picture of the player participating in practise on Twitter. In light of this, football.london has examined the complete roster Guardiola is likely to have available.
