Pep Guardiola updates Manchester City's injury information, Haaland and other players are about to return!
Since December, striker Erling Haaland will return to Manchester City when Pep Guardiola's side take on Burnley due to a foot injury. Pep Guardiola has confirmed star Erling Haaland will be back for Wednesday's game against Burnley.
Haaland has missed all competitions since December with a foot injury and has missed the last 10 Premier League games. However, the striker has recently returned to practice and is expected to play against Vincent Kompany's Burnley. Asked if Haaland would be available for Wednesday, Guardiola said at a press conference: "Obviously, he's going to be selected. "This is the first time. We've got everything ready, and we're stronger. That's for sure. ”
Erling is an integral part of us. But he's in good form at the moment, we had a training session [today], but obviously he's going to be there tomorrow. Haaland's return comes just in time for a crucial moment in the Premier League, and now Manchester City are just one game away from opening up a five-point gap to the Reds at the top of the table. After a five-month absence with a tendon injury, Kevin Debroney is finally back. The Belgian has been on the bench since his comeback and when asked if he would treat Haaland the same way, Guardiola said: "Kevin had a surgical operation that caused his body to deteriorate, so it's a completely new way. ”
Erling's bones were under tremendous pressure, so he had to do something different. Let's go through it first. John Stones is also expected to be in league games against Burnley, having missed the FA Cup tie with Tottenham Hotspur. Centre-back Manuel Akanji is also likely to miss the game in the short term with an ankle injury. Burnley is followed by Monday's match against Brentford, Saturday's Everton clash and then a 16-1 Champions League tie in Copenhagen against Denmark.
