Alfie Haaland\u00a0has raised fears Erling Haaland is set for an extended spell on the sidelines after selling his son on Fantasy Premier League.<\/p>\n

The 51-year-old transferred Pep Guardiola’s goalscoring phenomenon out of his side ahead of Manchester City’s 2-1 win at Luton on Sunday – bringing in Mohamed Salah as part of his reshuffle.<\/p>\n

Haaland’s brother Astor and girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen also followed suit – indicating the Norwegian’s injury could be worse than initially suggested.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old is currently suffering from a bone stress reaction in his foot.<\/p>\n

Guardiola said of the problem: “After the last game against Aston Villa, he felt it and he cannot play\/<\/p>\n

“I don’t know [the length of the injury]. Week by week, day by day, we will see what happens.<\/p>\n

“”Erling has been so important since he’s arrived, that’s for sure. But during the season we see this sort of thing. Injuries, suspensions, problems, we have to adapt.”<\/p>\n

City hope Haaland will be fit to feature in the FIFA Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia later this month.<\/p>\n

The Premier League champions face Crvena zvezda in their final Champions League group match in Serbia on Wednesday before hosting Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola’s men currently find themselves in fourth place, four points adrift of leaders Liverpool after 16 matches played.<\/p>\n

Victory over Luton was a sign that City can get back on track without Haaland, although the manner in which the victory was recorded was far from convincing.<\/p>\n

City were rattled after conceded to the top flight newcomers on the cusp of half-time, but proceeded to steady the ship and pull off a 2-1 turnaround victory courtesy of strikes from Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish within a three minute window.<\/p>\n
