• Seven weeks would mean return for final league game
• Manager says City will need more players closer to goal

Pep Guardiola has stated that Erling Haaland will be out for up to seven weeks with his ankle injury but will be ready for Manchester City’s Club World Cup campaign.

In a considerable blow to City’s bid to qualify for the Champions League and claim the FA Cup, Haaland was forced off during Sunday’s Cup quarter-final at Bournemouth. Guardiola was asked how long City will be without their top scorer.
