Guardiola gives Haaland update ahead of Huddersfield trip

 

Here’s the latest on Haaland from Guardiola ahead of the Huddersfield trip:

• Haaland missed training recently as he’s recovering from a back issue.

• Guardiola said:
   • “He was in recovery yesterday, he didn’t train.” (Manchester City FC)
   • He hasn’t yet seen how Haaland is today (prior to the Huddersfield match). (Manchester City FC)
   • The hope is to have him available for the Premier League match against Burnley on Saturday. (Manchester City FC)

So: it’s looking unlikely Haaland will play against Huddersfield, but he may return for the weekend.

If you like, I can check for any very recent update (after this press conference) to confirm whether he made the Huddersfield squad. Do you want me to see that?
