Manchester City’s coach Pep Guardiola surprised the media and the fans in the game facing the Citizen against Luton Town in Kenilworth Road on the sixteenth day of the 2023/2024 Premier League, as the Norwegian striker Erling Haaland wasn’t part of the City’s squad to face the Hatters, which switched on the alarms among the Citizen, whose fans started to speculate with a potential injury of the top scorer.

In this sense, Pep Guardiola himself decided to not avoid the questions on the Scandinavian striker during the club’s press conference after the team’s important 1-2 victory over Luton, where the Catalan coach analyzed the game against the Hatters and several absences in his squad for the clash.

The manager, who was early asked for Haaland in his press conference, provided the injury update on the Norwegian striker, revealing that he doesn’t have anything serious, and would be available very soon to compete again with the Citizen, and tried to ask the fans to keep calm on the player’s fitness.

Guardiola admitted Haaland’s injury

In this respect, Guardiola admitted that Erling Haaland would have suffered an injury in the previous hours to the City’s game against Luton, confessing that the Norwegian striker’s injury would be related to a stress and not a fracture, while he said to hope that the player is fit for the FIFA Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia in the next few days.
