Erling Haaland, seen using crutches and wearing a protective boot, has reassured fans with the message: "I’ll be back."

The Manchester City striker is expected to be sidelined for up to seven weeks after sustaining an ankle injury during Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Bournemouth in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

On Wednesday, Haaland shared a photograph on his social media accounts, referencing Arnold Schwarzenegger’s iconic catchphrase. The image showed him raising his crutches while wearing a protective boot on his left foot, alongside a flexed biceps emoji.

The Norwegian international had netted his 30th goal of the season before Bournemouth right-back Lewis Cook landed awkwardly on his ankle in a second-half challenge.

Speaking on Tuesday, City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed that Haaland would be unavailable for "between five to seven weeks."

Manchester City, who host Crystal Palace on Wednesday in a Premier League fixture, are no longer in the title race but remain in contention for a Champions League place next season.
