Erling Haaland has missed Man City’s last 9 matches. The 2023 Dubai Golden Ball is still working hard to return from a leg injury he suffered not long ago.
Sources from The Times revealed that the striker born in 2000 completed training lessons during Man City’s trip to Abu Dhabi.
However, Pep Guardiola believes that letting his student return early in the match against Tottenham in the fourth round of the FA Cup is a risk.
The former Barca coach admitted that he would let the Norwegian star sit out in the big match with the “Rooster”. The Spanish strategist further revealed that Erling Haaland is expected to return in early February 2024.
As for Erling Haaland, the 23-year-old player desires to return to the field soon and wants to contribute more to Man City.
“Man City is a great club, I really enjoy playing here. I hope to return soon from injury, I’m tired of not playing.”
Before getting injured, Erling Haaland was still the Premier League’s highest scorer with 14 goals.
The return of Erling Haaland promises to help Man City become significantly stronger and ready for the sprint at the end of the season.
