EPL: Haaland injury doubt ahead of Liverpool clash against Man City

Manchester City is concerned about the fitness of their forward Erling Haaland for their upcoming Premier League match against Liverpool. The Norwegian striker left the game in the 67th minute of Norway's 2-1 Nations League loss to Portugal, with teammate Jørgen Strand Larsen coming on as a substitute. The extent of Haaland's injury remains undetermined.

This absence is significant for City, who are set to face Liverpool on Sunday. Haaland has contributed seven goals this season, making his availability crucial for manager Enzo Maresca. Earlier in the match, Norway took a 1-0 lead through Kristoffer Ajer before Portugal equalized and then took the lead via João Cancelo. Gonçalo Ramos sealed the win for Portugal with a late goal.

Portugal advanced to the Nations League quarter-finals with this result, while Norway remains at the bottom of their group with two matches remaining. Manchester City will await further updates on Haaland's situation before the Liverpool game.
