‘Small feast’ – Erling Haaland shares snap of crazy post-match meal

ERLING HAALAND tucked into a "small feast" after Manchester City's victory over Newcastle.

The striker shared a snap of himself holding a bone and half-eaten lump of meat.

Haaland, 24, was subbed off in the later stages of the 4-0 win after appearing to pick up a knee injury.

The Cityzens were well ahead when the talisman went off after Omar Marmoush netted a hat-trick and James McAtee made it four.

Haaland's injury would have been cause for concern with Manchester City's vital Champions League clash against Real Madrid next week.

The reigning Premier League champions were beaten by the LaLiga giants in the first leg of their play-off match 3-2 at the Etihad.

They will now travel to Spain for the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.

Pep Guardiola did give an update on the prolific forward's condition after initially being "scared" for him..

He said: "When he was down, everyone was scared but he got up and walked smiling like always.

"I didn’t speak to him or the doctors but the doctors didn’t come with bad news so hopefully he is fine."

The picture of Haaland has filled Man City fans with confidence that he will be ready to go in Spain.

One posted: "He’s always ready."

A second commented: "Having Haaland fit for the Real Madrid clash strengthens City’s line-up."

A third wrote: "Haaland is the cornerstone of Man City."

A fourth said: "This is great news."

Another added: "A massive relief."

Haaland was also entrusted with the armband against the Magpies.

Guardiola has insisted that the striker will be a part of the leadership group for the foreseeable future.

He said: "I voted for Erling Haaland to be part of the captains group.

"He will be here for ten years and he will be part of the captains, it’s part of the process."
