A missed penalty, a scored goal and an injury outing. Here in three stages the summary of the match experienced by Erling Haaland last Sunday on the side of Bournemouth, in the quarterfinals of FA Cup (1-2). Manchester City's victory was quickly overshadowed by the blow experienced by the Norwegian striker who left the stadium with crutches. The next day, the first exams confirmed an injury to the left ankle. This Tuesday, Pep Guardiola said that Haaland would miss at least five weeks of competition.
Mine, the coach of Skyblues was at a press conference on the eve of the reception of Leicester City (8:45 p.m., 30th day of the Premier League). “Doctors told me that Erling Haaland would be absent between five and seven weeks. »» A new disaster for the Mancunian workforce after the long -term injury contracted at the start of the season by Rodri. “We will find a solution with our players. They all have different skills and qualities. We will have another striker. »»
In a style different from that of the “cyborg”, the winter recruit Omar Marmoush notably showed that it could take part in the next generation. The former Eintracht Frankfurt who cost Fifty-nine Million euros to Manchester City has already scored five goals in eight tenure. However, the global form of the club remains problematic. Only two successes in the last six Premier League games, too little to be serene.
No margin of error for Manchester City
Nine days before the end of the championship, the Cityzens
occupy fifth place in the classification synonymous with Europa League. But it is obviously the Champions League that Pep Guardiola and his men are aimed at. For the time being, Chelsea is right in front of them and holds the last of the four qualifying tickets for the next C1. City is only a delay on
Blues.
On the other hand, the danger is behind for Manchester City because the team has only four small points ahead of… tenth place. Suffice to say that the security mattress is almost nonexistent. Without Rodri, it was already complicated. Without Erling Haaland, is the mission impossible?
