A few days before the Club World Cup, the worrying news that Guardiola gives about Haaland

Manchester City is preparing to participate in the Club World Cup for the first time in the club's history. Pep Guardiola's team is the favorite to win the competition this December and what the English club has done for this season has had a lot to do with it. However, the presence of their star striker, Erling Haaland, remains a doubt, just a few days before the club's trip.

The fear instilled in Manchester City after the injury of its star – Erling Haaland – has been dispelled by Pep Guardiola, who says he is confident that he will be recovered to play in the club World Cup next week. At a press conference, the boss of the "citizens" mentioned the low severity of his forward's injury, denying the rumors that spoke of a fracture and confirming that it is a case of bone stress.

“The doctors say that we have to analyze how he feels day by day, week by week” Guardiola mentioned, when asked to confirm if the Nordic man will be able to reach 100% for the World Cup. However, despite the good prognosis, Guardiola stated that, unless something changes at the last minute, the Norwegian striker will not be able to play in the next Premier League match, when City faces Crystal Palace this Saturday, December 16.

The tranquility of Pep Guardiola

Despite this, the strategist said he was calm, as he also mentioned that the player does not show any type of symptoms or the slightest pain due to the injury. The “Android” suffered the injury prior to a league match against Aston Villa on December 10 and since that day he has already missed a Premier match against Luton Town and the last Champions League match against Red Star Belgrade. .
