Erling Haaland Injury Boost for Man City Ahead of Nottingham Forest Clash
Manchester City have received a significant injury boost as Erling Haaland is set to return for their upcoming Premier League match against Nottingham Forest. The striker missed City’s recent victories over Chelsea and Brighton due to a muscular issue. However, Pep Guardiola expressed his preference to have Haaland available and revealed that the player feels better. The news was confirmed by the club, as Haaland participated in a training session with his teammates.
Haaland will have an additional day to recover as City prepares to face Forest on Sunday at 4:30 pm. The Norwegian international is also in contention to win the Premier League Golden Boot for the second consecutive season, with 20 goals to his name. Cole Palmer of Chelsea and Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa are also in the running with 20 and 19 goals respectively. Dominic Solanke of Bournemouth follows closely with 18 goals, while Alexander Isak of Newcastle United and Mohamed Salah of Liverpool are tied with 17 goals each.
Currently sitting second in the Premier League table, City is only one point behind Arsenal, who have played an extra game. Mikel Arteta’s side will kick off the action on Sunday with a highly anticipated North London derby against Tottenham.
