Haaland set to return for Manchester City against Burnley, confirms Guardiola

Posted : 30 January 2024

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that striker Erling Haaland is set to make his return against Burnley after nearly two months out due to a foot injury. Haaland, who has scored 19 goals this season, last played on December 6 against Aston Villa.

 

Guardiola expressed the importance of having Haaland back in the squad, stating that the team is stronger with his inclusion. Despite midfielder Kevin De Bruyne's return from a hamstring injury, Guardiola hinted that Haaland might be ready to play immediately.

 

Guardiola provided updates on the overall squad, mentioning that defender Manuel Akanji is back and trained without knee problems, along with the return of John Stones.

 

This positive news comes as Manchester City, currently sitting five points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, aims for a record fourth consecutive league title. Guardiola emphasized the team's focus on taking one game at a time, with Burnley being their immediate priority.

 

In light of revelations about defender Kyle Walker's private life, Guardiola confirmed that Walker will retain the captaincy. Walker recently addressed the media, explaining his actions and issuing an apology to his family. Despite off-field developments, Guardiola affirmed his confidence in Walker's leadership role within the club.
