Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Erling Haaland is not ready to return to the Manchester City squad as the striker continues to recover from his injury.
Haaland has been suffering from a foot injury that has kept him out of action since December 6. He missed his side’s last two Premier League matches as well as their Club World Cup victory. Supporters are eager to see the Norwegian international again, but Guardiola tells them they will have to wait a little longer.
The Spanish manager spoke to Amazon Prime: “ He’s still not on the team. He feels better with his bone but he hasn’t done a single training session with us. Unfortunately, December is very crowded with many teams. The month of January is also very crowded. I hope that in January he can come back with us. »
Haaland will miss the Premier League champions’ matches against Everton on Wednesday and Sheffield United on Saturday. City have won four and drawn one from the five matches they have played despite the absence of the striker who has scored 19 goals in 22 appearances in all competitions.
