London, UK – May 22, 2023 –
Manchester City have been dealt a major blow ahead of their Premier League semi-final encounter with Chelsea tonight, with star striker Erling Haaland ruled out due to injury.The Norwegian international sustained the injury during training on Sunday and is now facing a spell on the sidelines. The full extent of the injury is yet to be determined, but it is expected to keep Haaland out for a significant period.
Haaland's absence is a major setback for City, who have been in excellent form this season and are chasing an unprecedented quadruple of trophies. The 22-year-old has been in scintillating form for the Citizens, scoring 29 goals in 30 Premier League appearances this term.
Chelsea, meanwhile, will be hoping to take advantage of Haaland's absence and book their place in the Premier League final. The Blues have been in good form themselves in recent weeks, winning their last four games in all competitions.
The match between Manchester City and Chelsea kicks off at 1715 BST and will be broadcast live on BBC One. Fans can also follow the action on the BBC Sport website and app.
