The reason why Haaland will not play against Fluminense
Manchester City and Pep
Manchester City is ready to face its first Club World Cup final. The English team hopes to achieve an important record that will leave them among the best clubs in the world and enter the history books. However, to face the American champion, they will not be able to count on two important footballers like Haaland and De Bruyne, who will miss the match for a curious reason.
Haaland and De Bruyne are coming back from injury, but they are already training with the team. Both are Manchester City’s two most decisive players and could not be available in one of the most important games in the club’s history. It is almost a fact that Manchester City players Erling Haaland, Kevin de Bruyne and Jeremy Doku will not participate in the Club World Cup final against Fluminense this Friday.
According to the rules of the tournament, only the 23 players registered in the semi-final can participate in the final and neither De Bruyne, nor Doku, nor Haaland were on Pep Guardiola’s list. The Belgians were ruled out beforehand, but Haaland did not leave until the last minute, when it was decided that the foot injury he suffered and which has caused him to miss the team’s last three games does not yet have him ready to compete.
This is how Manchester City arrives to face Fluminense
Erling Haaland, like Kevin de Bruyne and Jeremy Doku, will not participate this Friday in the Club World Cup final between Manchester City and Fluminense. The ‘Sky Blues’ beat Japan’s Urawa Reds this Tuesday by a comfortable 0-3 with goals from Marius Hoibraaten, Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva. A complicated match is expected for the English and with a lot of determination on the part of the Brazilians. Both make their debut in a Club World Cup final.
