Erling Haaland Turns Joker for Halloween in Manchester

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland celebrated Halloween dressed as The Joker, perfectly recreating Heath Ledger’s iconic look.

Phil Foden will mark his 200th City appearance.

As the Halloween spirit swept through Manchester, Erling Haaland stole the spotlight by dressing up as The Joker from The Dark Knight. The Manchester City striker was spotted roaming the city streets in full costume, complete with eerie makeup and the character’s trademark grin. His uncanny resemblance to Heath Ledger’s version of the villain drew praise from fans, who lauded his creativity and commitment to the look.

Beyond his festive antics, Haaland is set to return to action for Manchester City’s Premier League clash against second-placed Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola confirmed the Norwegian forward’s recovery after he missed the midweek League Cup win over Swansea due to a collision injury from the Aston Villa match. Haaland currently leads the league scoring charts with 11 goals in nine games.

Midfielder Rodri is also close to returning from a hamstring injury sustained before the October international break. City, currently fifth in the table with six points separating them from leaders Arsenal, will look to regain momentum. Bournemouth, unbeaten in eight games, pose a strong challenge, with Antoine Semenyo in fine form. Sunday’s fixture will also mark Phil Foden’s 200th appearance for Manchester City, a proud milestone for the 25-year-old midfielder.
