Arsenal get major Erling Haaland injury hint ahead of huge Man City clash
Erling Haaland will reportedly start for Norway in a friendly on Friday after the striker was seen limping out of training earlier this week.
The Manchester City striker could play a key role in their next Premier League fixture when they host Arsenal at the Etihad on Sunday, March 31. Haaland scored in both league fixtures against Mikel Arteta's side last season, although the Gunners were able to shut him out during October's 1-0 win at the Emirates Stadium.
City fans will have been concerned though at the sight of this season's top goalscorer limping off injured while in training with his national team on Tuesday. However, those worries have been played down by their team doctor.
And now a further hint has appeared to confirm that the 23-year-old is fully fit. Norwegian football journalist Arilas Ould-Saadahas reported that the striker will start up front for Norway in a friendly against the Czech Republic. Arsenal's Martin Odegaard will also reportedly start.
Haaland missed five league games for City between October and January due to injury. However, that has not stopped him from scoring 29 goals in all competitions so far this season.
Arteta's team face a crucial game in Manchester when the club season resumes later this month. The Gunners currently lead the Premier League table ahead of Liverpool on goal difference with 64 points, while the Citizens sit third on 63 points.
