The EPL clash between Manchester City and Liverpool is almost here. The match is scheduled for this Saturday at Etihad Stadium, and every Cityzen will be yearning to know whether Erling Haaland will play or not. Things took an unexpected turn for the 23-year-old when he suffered an ankle injury during Norway’s friendly match against the Faroe Islands. Later, Norway’s doctor confirmed that Haaland was in severe pain and was forced to be sidelined from the Euro 2024 qualifier against Scotland. Recently, Haaland himself gave a major update on his injury and whether he will play tomorrow.

Haaland is the biggest star of the Premier League with a whopping 13 goals in this season alone. However, the Norwegian’s ankle injury thwarted his international commitments. Now, Haaland has made it clear that he does not want to stay away from training and on-field action for a prolonged period.

Will Erling Haaland play in Manchester City versus Liverpool?

Recently, Erling Haaland took to his Instagram handle to post a picture of him training. Along with the photo, he also wrote, “Putting in the work!” On Thursday, the soccer star was also seen training at the City Football Academy, making it obvious that he was getting ready to bounce back.

Last season, the Norwegian could not lock horns against Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium, where his team achieved a glorious 4-1 triumph. Presently, the fans are concerned that he will miss the match against the Reds, as history may repeat. It is expected that the team’s manager, Pep Guardiola, will give a detailed update on Haaland’s injury when he sits with the press before the much-anticipated game.

Meanwhile, a few days back, Haaland’s injury update was received from an insider.

Major concern over the Norwegian star’s fitness

Recently, a journalist who spoke to Manchester City News detailed what exactly is going on with the striker’s injury. The journalist said, “There was a bit of a scare around his fitness. Then you know I was speaking to someone in Norway, who said no no. They kind of seem reassured about it.”

The journalist also added that Haaland has the right attitude towards any adverse situations. His team presently maintains a narrow lead over Liverpool in the league standings, with a mere one-point advantage. Hence, City’s top position will be in danger if they fail to outperform Liverpool in the upcoming clash.
