Erling Haaland has returned to Manchester City training, with the star striker keen to make a comeback from a bone injury in his foot.
The City scoring machine has not featured in a match for the English champions since the Premier League encounter with Aston Villa on December 6. But on Monday, the Norwegian returned to training in Abu Dhabi – where the club set up their warm-weather training camp – and is now considering making a return.
The Cityzens star shared a photo from Monday’s training session on Instagram with the caption: “Oh how I missed that!” “. The 23-year-old has missed his club’s last nine matches in all competitions, including five in the Premier League, due to a bone injury in his foot. Earlier this month he briefly returned to training ahead of the FA Cup match against Huddersfield, but Pep Guardiola made it clear he was not going to rush his star player’s return to action. Guardiola’s side are currently preparing to face Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup fourth round next Friday.
