Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has downplayed concerns over Erling Haaland's fitness after the striker limped off during their 3-2 victory over Ipswich. Haaland, who scored twice, appeared in pain following a challenge with Jack Clarke in stoppage time and left the pitch before the final whistle. "We will see," Maresca said. "Erling said he was OK. I don't have any news at the moment."
The win saw multiple injury concerns for City. Mateo Kovacic, Matheus Nunes, Nico O'Reilly, and Antoine Semenyo all picked up problems, with Semenyo's injury described as the most serious. Maresca confirmed all players are now inside and awaiting assessment, noting Haaland, Kovacic and O'Reilly reported feeling fine, while O'Reilly's back issue persists from a previous match.
