Manchester City’s star striker, Erling Haaland, was involved in a serious car accident while returning from training on September 18, 2025. Witnesses reported heavy rain at the time, and Haaland’s electric SUV collided with a delivery van, causing significant damage and triggering airbag deployment. Nearby pedestrians rushed to help and called emergency services.
Haaland, appearing dazed but conscious, was quickly stabilized by emergency crews and transported to Manchester Royal Infirmary. Within the hour, his family confirmed that although he sustained injuries, none were life-threatening. They requested privacy to focus on his recovery.
Manchester City’s manager Pep Guardiola was reportedly shaken by the incident. Sources close to medical staff revealed Haaland suffered minor head trauma, bruised ribs, and a sprained wrist. He is expected to miss at least the next match and remain under observation for possible concussion symptoms. Fans and teammates have sent widespread support and wishes for a full recovery.
