Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has finally explained why Erling Haaland did not start against Leicester City yesterday.
Remember that Julian Alvarez was given a rare start at the King Power Stadium during Manchester City’s 1-0 victory.
Guardiola revealed hours after the game that Haaland suffered foot ligament damage against his former club, Borussia Dortmund, in the Champions League.
When asked when Haaland might return, Guardiola told the BBC:
“I don’t know. He has ligament damage. He feels better, we have one more week.“He won’t play against Sevilla because we’ve already qualified and hopefully against Fulham he can help us. If not he might play against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.”
