ERLING HAALAND landed in Barcelona on crutches to undergo medical tests in order to determine whether his season is over.
The Norwegian striker suffered an ankle injury in Manchester City’s 2-1 victory over Bournemouth in their FA Cup semi-final clash last Saturday.

He underwent scans on Monday to assess the severity of the injury but was referred to a specialist for additional checks.
And the specialist has ruled out the former Borussia Dortmund man for the next SEVEN WEEKS of action.
Pep Guardiola said of the forward’s injury: “They told me, the doctors, [that he’ll be out for] between five and seven weeks.
“So hopefully the end of the season and in the [Club] World Cup he will be ready.”
The Etihad faithful feared the worst when Haaland was spotted leaving the Vitality Stadium on crutches and in a protective boot.
Injury to his star striker is yet another headache for Guardiola, who has endured his worst season in charge of the Sky Blues.
He lamented: “Sometimes there are years that these kind of things happen.
“I would say that could not be different at the end of the season.

“With all the dangers that we had this season, I’m so sorry for them.
“And for Erling as well. [Hopefully, he] can]recover speedy [and] as quickly as possible and come back.”

The 24-year-old has scored 30 goals in 40 appearances so far this campaign.
City will be back in action tomorrow night, welcoming Leicester City to the Etihad.
