Manchester City are sweating over Erling Haaland 's fitness after the forward limped off during Norway's Nations League defeat against Portugal on Sunday night.

The 26-year-old had signalled that he wanted to come off with a hand motion during the second half.

His withdrawal comes just a week before Manchester City travel to Liverpool , with their guilty verdict in their batle with the Premier League hanging over them.

The forward was able to walk off the pitch unaided with the score at 1-1, but a 79th-minute goal from Goncalo Ramos saw Portugal win 2-1 in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo .

Haaland started all four of Norway's Nations League matches in a 10-day spell, scoring in earlier fixture against Denmark and Portugal.

It remains to be seen how much of a headache this could be for City, who also saw Nico O'Reilly withdraw from England duty mid-way through the international break with an injury.
