Erling Haaland Set To Miss Manchester City’s Game Against Luton Town Per Reports, Here’s Why Pep Guardiola Left Him Out

Manchester City has copped a massive blow heading into their upcoming game. Pep Guardiola and his men have failed to bag a win in their last four games in the Premier League. The team will travel to Kenilworth Road to face Luton Town in their upcoming fixture. However, according to reports, the side will miss out on the services of Erling Haaland, who may be struggling with a foot injury.

This is surprising news for Manchester City fans, as the striker played the entire ninety minutes in the game against Aston Villa. Haaland has been the top scorer in the league, and his absence could impact the firepower of the Cityzens. Pep Guardiola and his side will be desperate to bag a win to close the gap with Arsenal and Liverpool, who are leading the race for the Premier League title.

Erling Haaland unavailable for Manchester City’s upcoming encounter

Erling Haaland has not traveled with the first team to Kenilworth Road due to a potential foot injury. According to journalist David Ornstein, “Manchester City are without Erling Haaland for today’s trip to Luton Town. Blow for #MCFC not having top scorer as they bid to end run of 4 PL games without a win + close gap on Aston Villa, Arsenal & leaders Liverpool.”

This is an enormous blow for MC, who will also miss the services of Kevin De Bruyne, as the player has been out with an injury for a while now. To add more to their misery, Jeremy Doku was kept away from the game against Aston Villa due to his injury and could also miss the game against Luton.

However, Pep Guardiola could use the opportunity to reinstate Jack Grealish and Rodri into the squad now. Both players missed the game against Villa after picking up their fifth yellow card of the season during the game against Tottenham.

Manchester City look to get their first win in four games

Things have looked bleak for the defending champions this season. The side is seven behind Liverpool who is at the top of the standings with 37 points. However, the side has a one-game advantage, and a win over Luton tonight will put them in close margin of the table-toppers. The side has failed to bag a win in their last four games and will be desperate for the three points up for grabs.
