Is Erling Haaland Injured? Manchester City Striker Substituted as Concerns Mount

Pep Guardiola substituted Erling Haaland early due to a minor niggle, aiming to manage his minutes during a demanding season where Haaland scored 22 Premier League goals.

  • On February 11, 2026, Manchester City forward Erling Haaland scored then asked to be substituted at half-time, replaced by Omar Marmoush, in a 3 against Fulham.
  • Citing a niggle, Guardiola told reporters `I didn't speak with the doctors, I don't know exactly what he has,' after Haaland asked to be substituted at half-time.
  • Haaland's long-range strike in the first half was his 22nd Premier League season tally and his seventh career long-range goal from outside the box out of 107.
  • Guardiola argued the decision aimed to manage Haaland's minutes amid a busy schedule, as he said he didn't know exactly what he has and Haaland felt uncomfortable.
  • Reports highlighted a heavy challenge from Fulham defender Joachim Anderson before Erling Haaland’s half-time substitution, which fans and observers described as an injury scare after he appeared to pull up following his goal.
