Striker Erling Haaland recently reappeared at Man City’s training ground after suffering a foot injury and having to rest since early December.
Since the 0-1 defeat to Aston Villa on December 7, striker Erling Haaland has not been able to play for Man City. The Norwegian striker suffered a foot injury.
After nearly a month of treatment, Haaland has now recovered from his injury. The player born in 2000 recently reappeared at The Citizens training ground. Number 9 was able to practice normally and complete the lesson plan set by the Man City coaching staff.
If everything continues to go well, Haaland will likely return in the FA Cup match against Huddersfield this weekend. Facing an opponent that is rated weaker is an opportunity for the Norwegian striker to regain the feeling of the ball after 1 month of being out of action.
Coach Pep Guardiola and Man City’s medical team will carefully monitor Haaland’s situation to make the final decision. The Green Man clearly does not want to take risks with his number one striker during an extremely important period of the season.
Haaland’s importance at Man City is no longer in dispute. In 2023, striker No. 9 scored 44 goals in all competitions, leading the scoring record in the top 5 European leagues.
Haaland’s return is very important for Man City at the present time. Before that, De Bruyne had also completely recovered from his injury. Man City is currently ranked third in the Premier League, 5 points behind top team Liverpool but has played 1 more match.
