Erling Haaland sustained a ligament injury against Dortmund, and Pep Guardiola has acknowledged that he wasn’t able to heal in time to play against Leicester. At the King Power Stadium, Julian Alvarez had a rare start because Manchester City’s preferred No. 9 was unable to play due to injury. Guardiola cited a foot ligament injury Haaland sustained in the Champions League matchup against his former team as the reason for his absence.
When the BBC asked Guardiola when Haaland may return, he replied, I don’t know.” His ligaments are harmed. We still have a week, and he feels better. Since we’ve already qualified, he won’t play against Sevilla, but perhaps he can help us against Fulham. If not, he might compete in the Carabao Cup matchup with Chelsea.
The leading scorer in the Premier League wasn’t present, yet his team still advanced in the East Midlands. In order to give the champions all three points against a tenacious Leicester team, Kevin De Bruyne assumed the responsibility and scored a magnificent free kick.
Guardiola may decide to prolong the Norwegian’s recovery, whether or not he will be ready for Sevilla’s midweek Champions League visit. He will need to be available for Manchester City’s match against Fulham in the Premier League the following Saturday.
