Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola broke down in tears as another Key Manchester City player goes off injured during International break training this night, a very sad moment for Manchester City fans as the injury seems to be a career ending injury
When Erling Haaland seemed to limp out of Norway training, it gave Manchester City a big scare that he might be hurt.
This week, City’s stars took off for the international break, but it looks like Pep Guardiola has already been hit very hard.
Social media users shared video on Tuesday that seemed to show Haaland limping off the pitch while training with Norway.
Because of a stress injury in his foot, the scorer missed 12 games in December and January.
He played again at the end of January, but he looked like he was hurt while practicing with his international team.
City’s first game back from the international break is on March 31 against Arsenal in the Premier League.
In April, the triple winners will play Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, and Luton Town in the league. They will also play Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League over two legs and Chelsea at Wembley in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
Guardiola’s team is currently third in the league, one point behind Liverpool and ahead of Arsenal, which is in first place.
It looks like Haaland will win the Premier League Golden Boot for a second year in a row. He has scored 18 goals in 23 games this season.
The Norwegian star scored 36 goals in the Premier League last season, which broke the record for most goals scored by a single player in a single season.
Haaland has scored 29 goals and set up six others in 34 games across all divisions this season.
Norway’s next few matches are against the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Haaland will play in both of them.
This week, Guardiola was asked directly about Haaland’s planned participation in the two friendly games. He said, “From now on, he is not my player anymore; whatever they decide will be fine.”
They are aware that they trained and fought hard to get to this point. It took a lot of energy and focus. These games are friendly, so they know they need to be smart about how they play. I hope they can do it.”
