"Decided not to take any risks." Guardiola talks about Haaland's health status
On Sunday, February 23, the central match of the 26th round of the English Premier League will take place between Manchester City and Liverpool. Manchester City's top scorer, Erling Haaland, was not included in the squad for the game due to health issues.
Before the start of the match, Pep Guardiola shared an update on the Norwegian striker's condition.
Quote: "Haaland feels better now, but he wasn't feeling well... and yesterday we decided to avoid any risk.
In these nine years, we've played many seasons without really, really important players and survived. This season, we've had a lot of injuries, but we couldn't withstand it," Guardiola was quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
Reminder: In the previous match between Manchester City and Real Madrid in the Champions League, Haaland was on the bench.
