Haaland injury absence length unknown – Guardiola

BBC SPORT

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he does not know long Erling Haaland will be out for with a foot injury.

The Norway striker had started all of City’s league matches this season but was left out of their squad for the Premier League game at Luton Town on Sunday (14:00 GMT).

“A bone stress reaction in his foot,” said Guardiola when asked about Haaland’s issue.

“After the last game against Aston Villa, he felt it and he cannot play.”

Haaland leads this season’s top-flight scoring chart with 14 goals, and has 19 in all competitions for City.

“I don’t know (the length of the injury). Week by week, day by day, we will see what happens,” added Guardiola.

“Erling has been so important since he’s arrived, that’s for sure. But during the season we see this sort of thing. Injuries, suspensions, problems, we have to adapt.”
