Man City has announced a potential return date for Erling Haaland, who has been injured, as the team is looking to acquire him.

It's been a tough couple of months for Manchester City as they have been without their star striker, Erling Haaland, for the past nine games. The 23-year-old has been struggling with a foot injury that has kept him out of action since their Club World Cup win last month. However, there is some good news for City fans as Haaland could potentially make a return for their Premier League clash against Burnley on January 31.

According to reports from The Times, Haaland was able to complete a full training session during the team's warm-weather camp in Abu Dhabi and did not experience any pain. This is a positive sign for the club as they have been cautious in bringing Haaland back into the team after his injury. It is believed that their upcoming FA Cup match against Tottenham on Friday may be too soon for Haaland to make his return, but City are hopeful that he will be ready for their game against Burnley or their following fixture against Brentford on February 5.

This news comes after Haaland was recently named the best men's player at the Globe Soccer Awards, where he expressed his love for Manchester City and his eagerness to get back on the field. He said, "Manchester City is a fantastic club, I really enjoy being here. I hope to be back really soon from injury, I'm getting bored of not playing."

Before City's 3-2 win against Newcastle United on January 13, manager Pep Guardiola spoke about Haaland's injury and the progress he has been making. He mentioned that Haaland had some "disturbing problems" with his feet, but the doctors had decided to give him a week of rest before restarting his training in Abu Dhabi. Guardiola remains optimistic that Haaland will be ready to play by the end of the month, despite the injury being more serious than initially expected. He explained, "It's a bone, it needs time. Every injury you can do whatever you want but it's a question of time. When you are injured at the end of November, you miss a lot of games. It's the toughest period."

City fans will be eagerly waiting for Haaland's return as he has been their top scorer this season and his absence has been felt in the team's recent performances. But with his determination to get back on the field and the club's cautious approach, it won't be long before we see Haaland back in action for Manchester City.
