Haaland may not play against Brentford in Manchester City's upcoming Premier League game.
Erling Haaland, the young and talented striker, has once again proven his goal-scoring abilities at the start of this season. However, he may not be able to play in Manchester City's upcoming match against Brentford due to some unfortunate news.

It has been revealed that Haaland has been granted compassionate leave by the club, after the passing of a dear family friend, Ivar Eggja. The Norwegian striker, who refers to Eggja as his "uncle", has been given the option to take some time off to grieve with his loved ones. Despite this, Haaland was seen training with the team on Thursday and is still considering playing in the Saturday game.

Eggja, who was the best man at Haaland's father's wedding, shared a special bond with the young striker. Haaland took to Instagram to express his emotions and pay tribute to his dear friend. He wrote, "You are a legend, Ivar. Words cannot describe how much you meant to me! Words cannot describe how much you will be missed! Thank you for everything, you madman. We will see each other again. Rest in peace, Ivar."

The loss of Eggja has deeply affected Haaland, but it has not hindered his performance on the field. Manchester City has had an impressive start to the season, winning all three of their matches and sitting comfortably at the top of the Premier League table. Haaland has been a crucial part of this success, scoring an impressive seven goals in just three games, including two back-to-back hat-tricks. He then went on to score the winning goal for Norway in their recent match against Austria, securing a 2-1 victory for his team.

Haaland and Eggja had shared a special moment together at last year's Ballon d'Or ceremony, and their bond will always be cherished by the young striker. As Manchester City continues their quest for a fifth consecutive title, Haaland's determination and talent will undoubtedly play a significant role in their success.
