Manchester City have been handed an injury scare ahead of their Premier League game against Arsenal on March 31 after Erling Haaland was seen limping out of Norway training earlier this afternoon.
The injury does not look too bad but the striker could not continue the session today and was seen grimacing in pain.
Norway face Czech Republic on Friday and Slovakia next Tuesday and it will be interesting to see whether Haaland plays in the games.

Arsenal visit Etihad Stadium to face Man City after the international break in their most important league game of 2023-24, and facing the defending champions without the 23-year-old will be a huge boost.
Pep Guardiola could be without Kevin de Bruyne for the game against the Gunners after the Belgium international midfielder was omitted from the Red Devils squad due to a knock, while Brazilian international goalkeeper Ederson is already ruled out.
Arsenal are top of the Premier League table heading into such a crucial game, but only a point separates them from Man City after 28 games.
A victory for the North Londoners on March 31 will give them a huge boost ahead of the final nine games of the campaign, and Guardiola will be praying Haaland and De Bruyne are available for selection that day.
