Great news for Manchester City fans as Erling Haaland is set to return to the squad for their upcoming Premier League match against Burnley. Pep Guardiola himself confirmed that the Norwegian forward will be back on the field, after missing the last ten games due to a foot injury.
Although Haaland had resumed training at the beginning of the month, the team has been cautious in order to give his foot enough time to properly heal. Guardiola mentioned that Haaland was very close to returning before their FA Cup victory against Tottenham last Friday, but unfortunately he was not selected for the match.
But now, as City takes on Vincent Kompany's team at the Etihad on Wednesday, Haaland will finally make his comeback. Guardiola expressed his excitement, stating that having all players available makes the team stronger, and Haaland is a crucial player for them. Even though he has been out for two months, the striker is feeling good and ready to join his teammates on the field.
In addition to Haaland, defender Manuel Akanji is also expected to return to the squad after recovering from a knee injury. Guardiola shared the good news, saying that Akanji trained with the team yesterday and did not feel any discomfort in his knee.
Overall, it seems like Manchester City will have a strong line-up for their match against Burnley, with the return of Haaland and Akanji. Guardiola's decision to be careful with Haaland's recovery has paid off, and fans can look forward to seeing him back in action.
