Victim of the calendar? Erling Haaland will not play again until 2024

Terrible news for the Manchester City in spite of putting end to his negative series in the Premier League with a victory to domicile in front of the Luton Town by 1-2. Before the meeting, the English club announced that Erling Haaland would not participate because of an injury that will keep it moved away of the terrains of game during some weeks, generating worry between the followers of the 'Sky Blues'.

As it confirmed Pep Guardiola in the day before of the party, the goleador Norwegian confronts a threat of fracture by stress in the foot. "Has a reaction of osseous stress in the foot and after the last party felt it. It can not play... I do not know how long it will be of drop. Week after week, day after day, will see which raisin...", it ensured the Catalan technician in Sky Sports.

The one of Santpedor added: "Erling has been very important since it arrived, clear, but during a whole season go you to happen these things. Injuries, suspensions, problems to which have to adapt you. Julián Álvarez goes to be our forward". The absence of the Norwegian is sensitive, since it has been determinant in the tip of the attack, contributing with 14 goals in 15 meetings of the Premier League up to now.

In spite of the fault of the 'killer' Nordic, the City attained a crucial victory that dissipates mildly the doubts on the team, that does not go through his best moment.

However, the group of Guardiola was not comfortable in the lawn of Kenilworth Road and evidenció a decrease in his performance and fault of goal. Julián Álvarez substituted to Haaland and, although it contributed with an assistance in the goal of Grealish, the Argentinian was not so lethal like the Norwegian. In case that the injury of the '9' prolong , the Argentinian will have to deliver to the maximum to give back to the 'citizens' the capacity goleadora that characterises them.

Now, again, it confronts physical problems because of an excess of time of game.

In fact, the own Pep Guardiola anticipated to the start of the season that a lot of players would suffer injuries because of the quantity of parties as it occurred with Militao, Courtois or Nkunku, that fell lesionados of the crusaders. Specifically, the Catalan trainer explained: "Already you see how many ligaments crossed there has been in this beginning of season. They do us travel to Asia and America by reasons of businesses, do us play parties very hard against strong rivals in fields in bad conditions... And the people lesiona, one and again". Pep did not make a mistake, and now has touched him lidiar with the consequences.
