Manchester City fans breathed a sigh of relief! Haaland returns to training and is expected to play in the league this weekend

After a brief injury and doubts, Manchester City fans were finally able to let go of their hearts. Coach Guardiola updated the team's injury status. Haaland, who had previously missed the League Cup, is likely to return to the game against Burnley this weekend.

A false alarm

This Norwegian forward continued his terrifying goal efficiency this season, scoring 7 goals in 6 games. But he missed the League Cup against Huddersfield in the middle of the week, which once sparked speculation about his physical condition.

Guardiola also gave a cautious response at the time, admitting that Haaland did not participate in training and hoped that he could return as soon as possible. These remarks have further aggravated the concerns of fans.

Timely return

However, on Thursday, Manchester City Club shared a photo of Haaland participating in training on official social media. This photo is like a "peace of mind", dispelling all doubts and also making Manchester City fans feel relieved.

Haland's timely return is crucial to the team. Because another striker in the team, Malmush, had a knee injury in the national team game and would be absent for a while. During the critical period when he established his advantage at the beginning of the season, Guardiola needed his most reliable shooter to destroy the city and the village.

The opponent's nightmare

For opponent Burnley this weekend, Haaland's return is an absolute "nightmare".

In the past 3 games against Burnley, Haaland has scored 5 goals, which is their "born nemesis". In addition, earlier this month, he just staged a good show for Norway's "five sons to pass the exam" in the World Cup qualifiers, and his condition is at its peak.

The core position

It can be said that this brief injury storm is more like a reminder. It once again proves how indispensable the core figure Haaland is in this Manchester City team.

With the return of the Norwegians, the dominant Manchester City we are familiar with is back.
