Manchester City star striker Erling Haaland has continued with his brilliant goal-scoring performances this season. The Norwegian international amid the tight schedule of the club has managed to keep himself fit. Now, in an interview, his national team manager Stale Solbakken has praised his ability to escape serious injuries and has called it an art.

Manchester City fans will hope that their star striker can remain fit throughout the season. He is a vital player for the team as they hope to retain their Premier League title. His physical attributes are a huge benefit to his game and the Norway head coach has brought the world’s attention to Haaland’s incredible physicality.

Norway’s manager makes an astonishing claim on the body of Erling Haaland

This season injuries have hit all the Premier League teams this season. Some players have constantly suffered pain with knocks and nibbles. However, Norway manager Stale Solbakken has said in an interview that Erling Haaland is not one of them. Solbakken speaking on the 23-year-old escaping injuries said,” It’s art! Erling has an explosive style of play. The package you have been given and physically acquired will explode and perform maximum actions on Sunday-Wednesday-Saturday every week in a normal season. He is the type of player who lives on power and explosion and jerks and nibbles.” 

Erling Haaland did recently miss seven games including the FIFA Club World Cup semi-final and final. This is because he suffered a stress reaction on his bone. Hence, Pep Guardiola decided to rest him to avoid the risk of a long-term injury in the latter half of this season. The 23-year-old has started training with the team during the FIFA Club World Cup.

Argentinian striker Julian Alvarez had done well in his absence including scoring in the Club World Cup final. However, for the upcoming Premier League games, with the possible return of De Bruyne, the fans would love Haaland back.

Haaland could replicate his partnership with Kevin De Bruyne

Erling Haaland won the Gerd Muller trophy in the Ballon d’Or ceremony for his 52 goals last season. Kevin De Bruyne had played an important role in assisting 13 of those goals in all competitions. These were extraordinary statistics as it was Haaland’s first season with Manchester City. This shows the effective partnership they have developed.

However, De Bruyne’s injury at the start of this season spoiled the party. Now, that the Belgian playmaker is back to training, this suddenly makes Manchester City an even more dangerous team for the rest of the season.
