Manchester City have been handed a major injury boost ahead of their UEFA Champions League clash against Young Boys on Tuesday, November 7, 2023.
Erling Haaland was subbed off at half time in City 6-1 thrashing of Bournemouth in the Premier League after he picked up an injury.
Pep Guardiola revealed in post-match press conference he will hope to play Erling Haaland against Young Boys but will have to speak with the team’s doctor first.
“We will speak with the doctor – I don’t know.”
Guardiola added: “I will listen to the doctors. If [the doctor] says he is ready and does not have pain I will consider him to play.
“Yesterday he told me he felt much better than the day of the game.”
Erling Haaland’s injury blow would prove a deep blow to City who are sweating with Kevin De Bruyne’s injury. They recently welcomed Bernardo Silva back to the team from the sidelines but De Bruyne will face a longer spell on the sidelines due to a harmstring issue.
