Erling Haaland is set to feature in Manchester City's upcoming UEFA Champions League match against Real Madrid on Wednesday, February 19, 2025. This confirmation follows a recent scare during City's 4-0 Premier League victory over Newcastle United on Saturday, February 15, 2025.
In the 86th minute of the Newcastle match, Haaland appeared to sustain a knee injury after an awkward turn. He was promptly substituted, raising concerns among fans and staff. However, Haaland walked off the pitch unaided and was seen smiling post-match, alleviating fears about the severity of the injury.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola addressed the incident, stating, "When he went down everyone was scared but he walked off smiling and the doctor didn't tell me bad news so hopefully he is fine [to face Real Madrid on Wednesday]."
Haaland's availability is crucial for Manchester City as they prepare to face Real Madrid in the Champions League. The Norwegian striker has been instrumental in City's attacking lineup this season, and his presence is expected to bolster their offensive capabilities in the upcoming fixture.
