Haarland is out for the remainder of the season, according to the Guardiola

Before Wednesday’s Premier League home game against relegation-threatened Leicester City, manager Pep Guardiola declared that Manchester City forward Erling Haaland will be out for up to seven weeks owing to an ankle injury.

The 24-year-old Norway international, who has scored 30 goals in 40 games for City this season across all competitions, suffered the injury during Sunday’s FA Cup quarterfinal victory against Bournemouth.

It took place throughout the season. If the season had ended (before to the Club World Cup), things might have turned out differently, Guardiola said reporters on Tuesday.

I’m really terrible for them and Erling because of all the injuries we’ve had this season. Thus, I hope he recovers as quickly as possible and returns.

The physicians informed me that it would take five to seven weeks. Hopefully, he will be prepared by the conclusion of the season and the Club World Cup.

The Club World Cup will be held from June 14 to July 13.

City is now one point behind Chelsea in fourth place in the Premier League rankings with nine games remaining, in fifth position.

Guardiola remarked, “We don’t have another player with his skills or his unique qualities.” “We are aware of that. However, we must adjust.

We have been playing up front in different ways for a long time. The caliber of the players determines this.

“We have had to fight to qualify for the Champions League for the first time, including the first season when I was here nine years ago,” he continued.

“With nine games remaining, we are fully aware of our obligations: five at home and four away. We will attempt to qualify for the Champions League, but we must win our home games first.

Guardiola was questioned regarding the rallies organized by City supporters’ organizations against the club’s ticket prices as well as the club’s recent partnership with a secondary ticket service.

They are free to say whatever they want, and the club is free to voice its opinions as well. Guardiola remarked, “I like that better than them being passive.”

“Decisions have been made and the club must be active in many departments.”
