After Man City’s star player appeared to be injured, Arsenal received a significant boost in the title fight.
Eleven days remain until the greatest Premier League match of the year, and Arsenal may benefit from Man City’s Erling Haaland’s probable retirement.
According to The Guardian (subscription required), Haaland was observed to pull up during his national team’s training and looked to be in a significant lot of pain.
Erling Haaland was hurt while serving for his country.
Pep Guardiola will undoubtedly be anxious for his player to be prudent during the international break, and the Norwegian management will undoubtedly be eager to keep the center-forward sidelined if they feel that there is any possibility of aggravating the injury given the number of games that the Norwegian missed at the beginning of the year.
Arsenal may need to defeat the defending champions to take the top spot when they visit the Etihad Stadium on March 31.
Liverpool hosts Brighton at Anfield two hours before kickoff, and should the Reds win or draw, they will be in the lead before Arsenal and City play a game.
The Cityzens may be missing two of their finest players going into what is likely to be their biggest domestic test of the season due to Kevin De Bruyne’s injury.
Naturally, both can be covered, but if Haaland plays, the hosts will undoubtedly win any duel because of the way he scares opposing defenses.
