Hit in one foot, Erling Haaland is doubtful for the Club World Cup, his coach Pep Guardiola announced this Friday.
Bad news in sight for Manchester City? Absent during the Citizens’ last two meetings, against Luton Town and Red Star Belgrade, Erling Haaland should, barring any major surprises, miss the Crystal Palace reception this Saturday in the Premier League, due to a foot injury .
“Haaland came back this Friday, the doctors are going to see him and we will see how he feels. This is not a fracture. As soon as he is no longer in pain, he will play”indicated Pep Guardiola this Friday at a press conference, before sowing doubt about the presence of the Norwegian striker for the Club World Cup, which will begin next Tuesday for the Skyblues with a semi-final against the Japanese of Urawa Red Diamonds.
“We hope he can go to Saudi Arabia”
“He was treated abroad (in Spain), he added. We hope that he can go to Saudi Arabia (where the Club World Cup is being played, editor’s note) and we will see if he is able to play the first or second match, or when we come back. I don’t think he will play (against Palace) but maybe he will surprise me. » In the event of victory in the semi-final of the Club World Cup, the reigning English champions will compete in the final next Friday.
