Pep Guardiola took Erling Haaland off late on in the FA Cup win against Newcastle

Manchester City will be anxiously monitoring the fitness of star striker Erling Haaland after a video showed the striker limping in a Norway training session.

The 23-year-old looked uncomfortable and couldn't continue in Norway's session on Tuesday afternoon, with his country facing games against Czech Republic and Slovakia in the coming days.

Haaland has scored 18 goals and made five assists across 23 Premier League games this season.

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side visit the Etihad Stadium on March 31 for a mammoth title clash, where City could be without Kevin de Bruyne while goalkeeper Ederson has already been ruled out.

Meanwhile, the Gunners have injury concerns of their own with Gabriel Martinelli (foot) and Gabriel Magalhaes (achilles) both suffering with knocks.
