Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, announced on Friday that Erling Haaland is fit to return for the Premier League matchup with Southampton on Saturday.
Haaland, who has scored 42 goals this season, missed City’s 4-1 win over Liverpool last weekend because he injured his groin while playing for Norway.
His return is a convenient lift for City’s mission to win a high pitch of prizes in the last two months of the time.
Guardiola stated, “He trained the last two days really well.” He’ll be prepared.
Three days after their trip to St. Mary’s, City host Bayern Munich at the Etihad for the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal.
However, Guardiola stated that he was solely focused on chasing Arsenal down to the Premier League’s top spot.
While Arsenal hold an eight-point advantage over City, the Citizens have a game in hand and will host Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium later this month.
The head of the City declared, “Bayern is our final thought.” The Premier League is every day, every week, and it’s Southampton.
When the teams last played, Southampton shocked City, knocking the English champions out of the League Cup.
In their previous five visits to St. Mary’s, City have only won twice, and Guardiola anticipates another difficult test.
He stated, “Now every team is playing for something.” Because Southampton has always been so tough, you need to be prepared for every game.
It has always been a difficult game. There will be no exception tomorrow.
