Manchester City striker Erling Haaland will miss their FA Cup fourth round game with Tottenham Hotspur, but is close to a return to action, manager Pep Guardiola yesterday.
Haaland has missed City’s last nine games in all competitions with a foot injury, and Guardiola is prepared to wait until the Norwegian forward is fully recovered.
“He is on the verge of coming back,” Guardiola told reporters.
“Tomorrow still he’s not ready but he’s close. Training camp was good, trained some sessions and the last two days here he trained but he’s not perfect and we wait a little bit more.”
The manager also reported that defender Manuel Akanji will miss today’s trip to Spurs but both defender John Stones and goalkeeper Ederson are available for selection. — SuperSport.
