Manchester City star Erling Haaland a doubt for FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea

Erling Haaland is a doubt for Manchester City’s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea on Saturday (20 April).

The Norwegian striker was surprisingly substituted prior to extra time of the Champions League quarter-final loss to Real Madrid on Wednesday.

City’s treble dreams were ended in a penalty shootout.
