Erling Haaland remains absent from Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola confirming a setback and uncertainty regarding the return of the Premier League’s top scorer.
Despite being honored as the second-best player globally in FIFA’s best awards, trailing only Messi, Haaland is sidelined with a foot injury. There’s an anticipation that he might intensify his recovery efforts during Manchester City’s warm-weather training break in Abu Dhabi.
During this hiatus, Guardiola’s squad will take respite in Abu Dhabi, utilizing a rare break of almost two weeks without a game before their FA Cup fourth-round clash against Tottenham on January 26. This extended period offers Haaland additional recovery time, a necessity given the current circumstances.
In preparation for City’s recent match against Newcastle United, Guardiola indicated that Haaland’s return is not anticipated until late January, leaving many uncertainties surrounding his availability. The star striker’s absence poses a challenge for Manchester City, and as the team looks ahead to upcoming fixtures, the hope is that Haaland’s recovery progresses as expected.
