Haaland’s return date appears to be revealed once and for all
Haaland and Manchester City
Manchester City misses one of its most important players of the moment. The citizen team is positioned as one of the teams of the moment, but the absence of a player like Erling Haaland has greatly taken its toll. The citizen team significantly positioned itself as one of the most important clubs of the moment.
The former Dortmund player suffered a bone stress injury to his foot in the Premier League match against Aston Villa on Wednesday, December 6. So far, he has missed six games, three in the English League, two in the Club World Cup and one in the Champions League. And everything indicates that he will miss a couple more games before playing again.
Both the English media and the Catalan coach assure that the ‘Viking’ will play again in January 2024. “It is stress on the bone, it is fine, but it is in pain. He is not a small, skinny man like Foden, he is bigger which makes it more difficult. He will be fine and when he is back he will play. It will be soon,” said the coach after the recent victory (3-1) against Everton at Goodison Park.
So far this season, Erling has maintained a great level and, of course, the impressive numbers from him. He played 15 Premier League games, in which he scored 14 goals and gave one assist. Likewise, he is one of the top scorers in 2023, with 50 goals. He is in fourth place in the table, only behind Kylian Mbappé (52), Harry Kane (52) and Cristiano Ronaldo (53). Haaland is expected to return midway through 2023. However, it is almost impossible for him to be available for the first game of 2023.
