Erling Haaland, a standout for Manchester City, has resumed full training but is unlikely to make his Friday match against Tottenham Hotspur.
This season, Ange Postecoglou will be looking to end Tottenham’s lengthy trophy drought, and the FA Cup appears to be his most realistic opportunity to do so.A key Manchester City player is now unlikely to face Tottenham on Friday in the FA Cup.Spurs have been drawn against the Premier League champions in the fourth round, despite a late Pedro Porro goal securing a 1-0 victory over Burnley in the previous round.
Undoubtedly, the return of Kevin De Bruyne, who scored and assisted in Pep Guardiola’s side’s 3-2 victory over Newcastle United in their previous match, has bolstered Manchester City.
The Citizens have been without Norwegian striker Erling Haaland for the past six weeks due to a foot injury.Haaland is improbable to suit up against Tottenham.
According to the source, Haaland resumed first-team training on Monday and completed the entire session pain-free.The Times reports that although he is drawing closer to a return, the match against Tottenham is probably too soon for him. However, City are reportedly hesitant to hurry the 23-year-old back into action.
This renders Haaland’s appearance against Spurs in the FA Cup on Friday “improbable.”Guardiola’s squad appears to be regaining their best form following a sluggish start to the year.
It is not a secret that City have had difficulty at Tottenham in recent years; since the stadium’s opening in 2019, they have yet to score.
Guardiola’s squad has, in fact, suffered defeat in each and every match played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
On Friday, however, recent results will be irrelevant, and Postecoglou’s squad will need to perform at its highest level to have a chance at advancing to the fifth round of the FA Cup.However, City are reportedly hesitant to hurry the 23-year-old back into action.
