'I'll be back' vows Haaland after injury blow
Erling Haaland promised "I'll be back" after the Manchester City striker learned he will be sidelined for seven weeks with an ankle injury.
Haaland limped off during the second half of City's 2-1 win at Bournemouth in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday.
The Norway star had missed a penalty and scored his 30th goal of the season before being hurt in a challenge with Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook.
City boss Pep Guardiola on Tuesday revealed Haaland would miss the majority of the remainder of the season, saying: "The doctors told me between five and seven weeks, so hopefully for the end of the season and the Club World Cup he will be ready."
Haaland responded to his injury blow on Instagram on Wednesday, posting a message that read: "I'll be back" -- a quote made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in the Terminator movies -- accompanied by a flexed biceps emoji.
The post also featured a photo of the 24-year-old with his left foot in a protective boot and each arm raised holding up a crutch.
Haaland's absence is a major setback to City's hopes of securing qualification for the Champions League.
Haaland will miss Sunday's derby at Manchester United in the Premier League, as well as the FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest on April 26 or 27.
The FA Cup final takes place on May 17, a day short of seven weeks after he suffered the injury.
City's final Premier League game is at Fulham on May 25, with their first match in the Club World Cup against Wydad Casablanca being played on June 18.
