He missed the Carabao Cup third round win over Huddersfield, prompting speculation about his condition.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pixel.carambo.la\/Pixel\/nfld18\/113181\/0\/1\/0\" style=\"display:block;width:0;height:0;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-135611\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/imago1065466533-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1759\"  \/>Photo IMAGO<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"642\" data-end=\"897\">Speaking before that tie, Guardiola admitted there was uncertainty. \u201c[Haaland was in] recovery yesterday, he didn\u2019t train,\u201d Guardiola explained. \u201cToday I didn\u2019t see him or the rest of the players yet but hopefully he can be [back] for the next weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"899\" data-end=\"1064\">He added: \u201cIt\u2019s been such a demanding week, the last game especially and sometimes the players have problems. But I think we will be fine next weekend, I hope so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Encouraging signs in training<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1101\" data-end=\"1350\">City supporters were given reason for optimism when the club shared an image of Haaland in training on Thursday. That update points towards him being ready to feature against Burnley, a side he has tormented with five goals in just three meetings.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136946\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/imago1066800908.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2529\" height=\"1790\"  \/>Photo IMAGO<br \/>\nImportance of his presence<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1384\" data-end=\"1648\">With Omar Marmoush sidelined due to a knee injury suffered on international duty, the potential return of Haaland becomes even more significant. Guardiola requires his most reliable goalscorer in a run of fixtures that could shape momentum early in the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Record against upcoming opponents<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1689\" data-end=\"1942\">Haaland\u2019s dominance has extended to both domestic and international stages. He struck five goals for Norway in a World Cup qualifier against Moldova earlier this month, and his track record against Burnley suggests he could again play a decisive role.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1944\" data-end=\"2075\">For City, this injury update feels less like a scare and more like confirmation of his centrality to their ambitions this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester City have moved to ease concerns around Erling Haaland after Pep Guardiola offered a fitness update that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":183631,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[831,108210,108211,108212,108213,108214,108215,108216,108217,108218,108219,108220,108221,108222,108223,108224,108225,108226,108227,108228,403,99],"class_list":["post-183630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-featured","tag-haaland-injury-update","tag-man-city-burnley-clash","tag-man-city-burnley-preview","tag-man-city-champions-league-build-up","tag-man-city-fitness-boost","tag-man-city-forward-injury-scare","tag-man-city-goalscorer-injury","tag-man-city-injury-update","tag-man-city-norway-striker","tag-man-city-pep-guardiola-update","tag-man-city-premier-league-form","tag-man-city-recovery-update","tag-man-city-squad-news","tag-man-city-striker-fitness","tag-man-city-striker-injury","tag-man-city-team-news","tag-man-city-training-update","tag-pep-guardiola-injury-news","tag-premier-league-injury-news","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183630"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183630\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
