Haaland disobeyed Pep, making Man City restless before the match against Arsenal.
Just a few days away from Pep Guardiola’s arms, Erling Haaland made the teacher wince.
The 2023/24 season is entering an important phase and all candidates for the Premier League championship want to have the most complete squad.
Man City is competing for the Premier League championship with Liverpool and Arsenal, while the Champions League and FA Cup are still in the sights of Pep Guardiola’s army. However, their hopes of winning all three may have just been dealt a blow because a video related to Erling Haaland appeared.
Accordingly, Haaland limped during a training session with the Norwegian national team. Looking from the clip, the image of the star born in 2000 moving with difficulty made the Etihad Stadium team worried. Before the players joined the national team, Pep Guardiola once warned his stars to take care of their health during this gathering.
Since the end of January this year, Haaland has played again but seemed uncomfortable while training with the Norwegian team at this FIFA Days. Haaland’s risk of serious injury makes Man City in general and coach Pep Guardiola in particular feel like they are sitting on fire.
On March 31, Man City will host Arsenal in the Premier League. This is an extremely important match that can affect the success or failure of the championship race. After that, the Green Man’s schedule is also full of challenges with matches against Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Luton Town, before clashing with Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals.
Not stopping there, Man City also faced Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals near the end of April. With such a schedule, Man City clearly needs Haaland to be fit. However, the latest developments show that the 23-year-old striker is likely injured.
This season, Haaland has appeared in 34 matches for Man City in all competitions, scoring 29 goals and 6 assists.
