Erling Haaland's Injury Absence Goes On But Kevin De Bruyne Ready To Start For Manchester City
Pep Guardiola has revealed Erling Haaland's injury absence is still not over, but Kevin De Bruyne is ready to start for Manchester City at Newcastle on Saturday. Haaland is struggling to recover from the foot injury that has sidelined him since his last appearance against Aston Villa on December 6. The 23-year-old travelled with Pep Guardiola's squad for their Club World Cup triumph before Christmas. He took part in individual fitness sessions in Saudi Arabia, but the Norway striker, who has 19 goals this term, is still not ready to return.
