Sent on holiday. Haaland will miss Man City's next match

Manchester City players and manager Pep Guardiola have consistently expressed concerns about the congested fixture schedule. Just yesterday, the Premier League champions lost their key midfielder, Rodri, for the remainder of the season due to injury. As a result, the club has decided to protect another of their stars.

Details: According to the Daily Mail, Manchester City has given Premier League top scorer Erling Haaland a few days off to alleviate the physical strain. Haaland will spend his short vacation in Norway.

This means that Haaland will miss tomorrow’s Carabao Cup match against Watford on September 24.

However, the star striker is expected to return for City’s Premier League clash in Round 6 against Newcastle.

Reminder: In a recent match against Arsenal, Haaland scored his 100th goal for Manchester City, reaching the milestone in just 105 appearances.
