Manchester City fans fear the worst after witnessing a training incident involving star striker Erling Haaland.
It has been a brilliant season for City so far, having won the Premier League and FA Cup.
They are now one step away from winning the treble when they take on Inter Milan in the Champions League final on Saturday night.

Ahead of the epic final in Istanbul, Man City fans reacted to an incident at the training ground involving Haaland.
A clip of the Norwegian tennis player being swept away by a water bottle has gone viral with fans' reactions on social media. One person said:
"The two brothers were crushed by an ice block."

A third fan added:
"Imagine if he injured his ankle because of that."
Another person wrote:
"Those water bottles are doing better than most defenders this season."
While a fifth commented:
"My heart almost stopped when I watched Haaland fall."
Since arriving from Borussia Dortmund, Haaland has been in brilliant form.
To date, he has scored 52 goals in 52 appearances in all competitions for Man City.
As the final edges draw closer, he has the chance to lead City to European glory for the first time in their history.
Before the match, Man City manager Pep Guardiola spoke of a comparison between his side and the 1999 Manchester United treble winners. Advertisement
I said:
"In my opinion, what I remember, because I was a boy, is how good they were. That was my first feeling. Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, Roy Keane, three or four strikers, [Andy] ] Cole, [Dwight] Yorke, [Teddy] Sheringham, Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer].
I remember how good they were, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten there. Beyond the quality they have, you have to have a special mentality, a special personality of the team, the manager, the history of Old Trafford."
Guardiola added:
Those things always help do those things. I don't know how many years English football has survived in this world, but just one team doing it means how hard it is.
