Haaland a doubt for FA Cup semis against Chelsea

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is a doubt for his side’s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea on Saturday.

Haaland was substituted late on during Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final defeat on penalties by Real Madrid.

City boss Pep Guardiola said after the game that the 23-year-old had asked to be taken off.

“We will see,” said the Spaniard on Haaland’s availability to face fellow Premier League side Chelsea at Wembley.

“It was a tough game, a lot of action, high intensity for both sides. 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.”

City will be aiming to bounce back from their Champions League exit when they face Chelsea.
