Manchester City may have to take on Liverpool in a pivotal Premier League clash next Saturday without top scorer Erling Haaland.
In an incident that would have left Pep Guardiola and club fans racked with anxiety, the striker went down clutching his ankle
he has already been ruled out of his country's clash with Scotland on Sunday night, which comes just six days before the Reds visit the Etihad.
team doctor Ola Sand has since said tests will be needed to reveal the extent of the damage
Revealing the 23-year-old is in "considerable pain," he also claimed Haaland's foot movement was currently restricted, making it impossible for him to line-up against Steve Clarke's team.
Norway boss Stale Solbakken confirmed the news

"It is of course a shame that Erling will not be ready for the match on Sunday, but we will not be bringing in a replacement. This is a great opportunity for the offensive players in the squad to show off.”
Guardiola faces a nervous wait, already confined to facing Jurgen Klopp's side without key men John Stones and Kevin de Bruyne.
Haaland has 13 top-flight goals this season in just 12 games, leaving him three clear of Mo Salah.
