In Manchester City's previous match, despite the team's great victory, it was surprising that Erling Haaland failed to finish the match. The Norwegian left the game and was replaced by Phil Foden. Now, hours after the worrying event, the Manchester City coach already explains what the footballer really has and whether it is an injury that could affect the Norwegian forward's duration off or on the field.

 

With a Champions League match on Tuesday against Young Boys and, above all, the visit to Stanford Bridge on the horizon, the Catalan coach did not want to take any risks and withdrew his star at half-time. "He has a sprain in his ankle, we didn't want to take risks with him, he didn't feel comfortable. He will return perhaps on Tuesday or next Sunday," explained the 'citizens' coach.

With an injured Haaland, Doku took the reins and put the team on his back with a performance for the ages, becoming the youngest player to participate in five goals in a single Premier League game. "He has settled very quickly. It's not just that today he has played very well in all the games he played. We are very happy," said Pep about the Belgian.

 

When is Haaaland coming back?

In principle he will be able to be there for the visit to Chelsea next weekend in a Premier League match. The Norwegian center forward suffered a “sprained ankle,” Guardiola said for the BBC. “We didn't want to take risks with him, he wasn't comfortable,” added the Catalan coach. In the previous match, Pep was amazed by Bernardo Silva's game. One of those assists went to Bernardo Silva in what would be the fifth goal of the game. A long pass that ended with a definition of pure caviar from the Portuguese and that amazed Guardiola. "The action of the second goal seems like Messi's.
