Quick Summary

Man City's star striker Erling Haaland was seen limping off after scoring twice in a 3-2 victory against Ipswich, raising concerns about an injury to his foot or knee. However, coach Enzo Maresca later reported that Haaland assured him he is fine, along with other players who were substituted, Matheus Nunes and Mateo Kovacic. The only player of concern now is Antoine Semenyo, whose condition remains uncertain. With upcoming games against AEK Athens in the Champions League and Aston Villa, Maresca confirmed potential rest for Haaland due to his recent workload.

However, Haaland and midfielder Antoine Semenyo both limped off in the final minutes of the match, raising injury worries.
