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.

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.
