“The stress response of the bone in the foot. He’s had it since the last game against Aston Villa, that’s why he can’t play,” Guardiola told Sky Sports TV after announcing the squads for the match. The Spanish coach did not know how long the Norwegian striker and currently the best scorer in the competition with fourteen goals would be absent.
“It will be week by week, day by day. We’ll see what happens,” Guardiola commented on the situation surrounding one of his key players. Twenty-three-year-old Haaland has already been troubled by problems with his leg in recent weeks.
Due to an ankle injury, he prematurely left the Norwegian national team before the end of the World Cup qualifiers in November. A stress reaction, which can be manifested by swelling or bruising, can even result in a stress fracture.
It would definitely be a big complication for Manchester City. Moreover, at a time when the defending champion is not in very good form, because he is already waiting for a league win in four games in a row.
