According to the source, the Norwegian was forced to be substituted in the 62nd minute due to discomfort in his left ankle. The fact that Haaland left the stadium in a protective boot and on crutches adds to the concern. It is too early to determine the severity of the player's injury, but the player is expected to undergo a full medical examination soon, which will reveal the recovery timeline.

\"I saw him on the massage table, but I didn’t communicate with him or the doctors, so I don’t know about his injury\", - said Josep Guardiola at the post-match press conference.
