Man City Manager Guardiola Confirms Haaland Is Out For Up To Seven Weeks
FIFA Club World Cup: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that star striker Erling Haaland is expected to be sidelined for "five, six, seven weeks" due to an ankle injury. If Haaland returns after five weeks, he could be fit in time for City's Premier League fixture against Southampton on May 10. However, if his recovery takes the full seven weeks, he could be in danger of missing the FA Cup final on May 17—should City overcome Nottingham Forest in the semi-final.
"Sometimes we are used to this in this country. It has happened all season. They told me the doctors were between five to seven weeks. So hopefully the end of the season and by the Club World Cup, he will be ready," Guardiola was quoted by BBC Sport as saying when asked about Haaland's return.
"Sometimes there are years when these kinds of things happen. It happened all season. I would say that it could have been different if it were the end of the season [before the Club World Cup]. So with all the injuries we have had this season, I'm so sorry for them and for Erling as well. So [I wish him] a good recovery, as speedy as possible, then come back."
