Erling Haaland left the pitch with an apparent injury during Norway’s UEFA Nations League match against Portugal in Porto on Sunday, dealing Manchester City a potential fresh blow in an already turbulent week.

The striker gestured to the bench to be replaced and was withdrawn in the 67th minute, with the score level at 1-1, making way for Jørgen Strand Larsen. Portugal subsequently took the lead through Gonçalo Ramos after Haaland’s departure.

The timing compounds a difficult period for City, who were found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules earlier in the week. Haaland’s fitness will be closely monitored, though the full extent of any injury had not been confirmed at the time of the match.
