Through Metro, coach Pep Guardiola shared about Erling Haaland’s injury situation.
The Norwegian international has missed Man City’s last 9 matches due to a foot injury. Coach Pep Guardiola repeatedly affirmed that Erling Haaland is not in the best condition to be able to play.
According to Guardiola, Haaland had a bit of difficulty recovering from his leg injury. Therefore, the Norwegian player has not yet played. For the first time in his career, Haaland missed 9 consecutive matches at the club level.
The former Dortmund star himself admitted: “I hope to return soon after injury, I’m tired of not playing!”.
The Times revealed that Haaland has returned to training. The FA Cup fourth round match against Tottenham may come too soon for this player. Instead, a match against Burnley or Brentford in the Premier League is more feasible.
Latest, Pep Guardiola said: “Tomorrow (against Tottenham), he is not ready. However, Haaland is very close to returning.”
Haaland’s return along with Kevin De Bruyne’s full recovery helps Man City’s strength become more formidable.
