We don't know yet when he'll return. Guardiola explained Haaland's absence

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola commented on his team's game against Luton and also explained the reasons behind Haaland's absence.

"We don't yet know when he will return. He has problems with his foot. There's hope that we can recover him for the Club World Cup matches.

It was an excellent game after a series of poor results. We conceded a goal in the last minute of the first half. It was a really good test, and the players reacted as they should have.

It's a challenge. They ran, fought, and I'm proud of them. We played better in the first half. We need goals, and in the first half, we didn't score," - said the coach of the 'Cityzens' after the match.

It's worth noting that Manchester City ended a four-game winless streak with the victory over Luton. Additionally, following this match, City remains in fourth place, trailing the leading Arsenal by only four points.

The next match for Manchester City will be on Wednesday. In the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the team will travel to Belgrade to play against Crvena Zvezda.
