Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has vowed to return to action as he poses with crutches after being ruled out for seven weeks with an ankle injury.

City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed on Tuesday. That Haaland will be out for ‘around five to seven weeks’ after injuring his ankle during Sunday’s 2-1 FA Cup win over Bournemouth.

However, the Norwegian striker is keen to make a speedy recovery, posting a picture on social media showing him in a cast and holding crutches up in the air. With the caption: สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน “I’ll be back.”

Haaland posted a photo of himself on his social media accounts Wednesday with the Arnold Schwarzenegger-style message. It showed Haaland holding crutches aloft and wearing a protective boot on his left foot. The post included a flexed biceps emoji.

The Norway international had scored his 30th goal of the season Sunday before Bournemouth right back Lewis Cook landed awkwardly on Haaland’s ankle in a second-half tackle.

On Tuesday, City manager Pep Guardiola said Haaland would be out for “between five to seven weeks.”

City, which beat Leicester 2-0 on Wednesday, is out of the Premier League title race but in contention for a Champions League spot for next season.

Haaland has scored 30 goals in 40 appearances in all competitions for Manchester City this season.
