Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said at his pre-season press conference ahead of the Ipswich game that he was hopeful striker Erling Braut Haaland would be fit in time after picking up a knock in the 2-2 draw with Brentford.
Haaland played 90 minutes at the Gtech Community Stadium. Clashing with an opponent’s defender and suffering a bruise. So he took a break from training on Wednesday in order to sign a contract extension until June 2034.
With over 48 hours of recovery ทางเข้า UFABET สำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ สมัครวันนี้ รับโบนัสฟรี under his belt, Guardiola believes the Norwegian will be fit to sail to Portman Road.
“We’re not training on Thursday so we can come back on Friday,” Guardiola said.
“Let’s wait and see how everyone is doing because some players who played against Brentford had some minor problems like every match. Let’s wait and see.”
Defender Ruben Dias has been out for the week, recovering from a hamstring injury. But he is unlikely to be involve in the match in a hurry.
The one who is likely to be name is winger Oscar Bobb, who is recovering well from a broke tibia.
“He still has a couple of tests to go through, but he’s been good in training,” the 53-year-old added.
