Haaland returned after nearly 2 months of recovery

Striker Erling Haaland suffered a foot ιnjury in the match against Aston Villa on December 7. Nearly 2 months have passed, the Norwegian striker cannot play for Man City.

He missed The Citizens’ last 10 matches in all competitions, including the coronation journey at the FIFA Club World Cup.

Haaland was able to return to training with his teammates about 2 weeks ago. But until now, he has only achieved the best physical condition to be able to return to the field.

Ahead of Man City is the cоnfrоntatiоn with Burnley in round 22 of the Premier League. According to confirmation from coach Pep Guardiola in the pre-match press conference, Haaland will return in this match.

He will add his student’s nаme to the registration list to compete in the Burnley match. But it is likely that Pep will not take any risks with striker number 9 and let him play from the bench.

Before getting injured, Haaland was in quite high form. The player born in 2000 has 19 goals and 5 assists in all competitions. In the Premier League, number 9, despite being absent for nearly 2 months, still has 14 goals and is tied with Mohamed Salah at the top of the top scorer list.
