Length of Haaland’s injury absence unknown

Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, says he does not know how long ErlingHaaland will be out for with a foot injury.

The Norway striker had start­ed all of City’s league matches this season but was left out of their squad for the Premier League game at Luton Town yesterday which they came back from a goal down to win 2-1.

“A bone stress reaction in his foot,” said Guardiola when asked about Haaland’s issue.

“After the last game against Aston Villa, he felt it and he can­not play.”

Haaland leads this season’s top-flight scoring chart with 14 goals, and has 19 in all competi­tions for City.

“I don’t know (the length of the injury). Week by week, day by day, we will see what happens,” added Guardiola.

“Erling has been so import­ant since he’s arrived, that’s for sure. But during the season we see this sort of thing. Injuries, suspensions, problems, we have to adapt.” –BBC
