Man City Manager Pep Guardiola has delivered SAD news for Erling Haaland News this evening after he did not travel to wembley with the squad
City is hoping to bounce back from their Champions League loss to Real Madrid in the middle of the week. The reigning champions were eliminated from the competition on penalties, despite the fact that they were the dominant team in the second leg on the night.
As they attempt to salvage a double from their season, they have the opportunity to go to the final of the FA Cup. However, they will be unable to do it without their main player, who has scored 31 goals so far this season.
During the match versus Madrid, Haaland was one of many players who were forced to leave the game due to injuries. He was removed from the game at the 90-minute mark, and Julian Alvarez came in to replace him for the remaining 30 minutes, in addition to the penalties.
“They wanted me to get out,” Guardiola remarked of Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, and Manuel Akanki on their departure from the team. There was no way for them to proceed.
In spite of the fact that Akanji and De Bruyne have both started the game for City, it is not possible to say the same thing about Haaland, who may sit out for a considerable amount of time due to his injuries.
Prior to the match, Guardiola said that his striker was suffering from an injury. “I don’t believe it’s much, but he may not be able to play today,” the coach said.
In response to the question of whether or not he would be able to play against Brighton in the middle of the week, he said, “I don’t know.”
After suffering a foot injury that forced him to miss the Christmas break and the Club World Cup, Haaland returned to City in January. Earlier in the season, he was out for a number of weeks, which affected his performance for the club.
Now, he is dealing with a muscular problem, and he will have to sit in the stands in the nation’s capital to watch his team attempt to make it to another Wembley final event.
