Erling Haaland is an injury concern for Manchester City. Haaland has been sidelined with foot injury and has missed City’s last nine clashes.

The City star has returned to training session, however, he will miss their upcoming FA Cup fourth-round game against Tottenham on Friday.

Speaking ahead of the game, Pep Guardiola gave an update on Haaland.

“It was a bone. We thought it was a bit less but in the end it was a little bit of a fracture of the bone and the bone is not a muscular issue that you can do a little bit and come back,” Guardiola said.

“When you have this injury it’s a question of time, people say six to eight weeks, it is six to eight weeks. It is not about how much you work or if you go to Abu Dhabi or not, you’ll be short.

“The bone needs time to close, to make his procedure and now it’s at the end, it will be eight weeks now, almost two months this or next weekend, this is the process, he feels good and now he needs time to take the rhythm and start to give him minutes when he will be fit.”
