Erling Haaland finally sees the end of the tunnel. Injured in one foot, the Norwegian serial scorer has not appeared on the competitive pitch since December 6 and Manchester City’s defeat of Aston Villa (1-0). It must be said that due to complications, the native of Leeds saw his return postponed, he who was initially supposed to be reinstated with a view to competing in the Club World Cup at the end of 2023.

But this time, Haaland seems to be well and truly recovered from his injury and has never been closer to regaining his place in Guardiola’s squad. This Monday, he made his comeback to the Citizens’ collective training. And the former Borussia Dortmund player did not hide his joy. “Oh how I missed that”wrote the 23-year-old striker on X (formerly Twitter), accompanying his message with a photo of him tying his shoes on the green rectangle.
