Manchester City are preparing for their upcoming Premier League game against Brighton, with two key players, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, absent from training. While City responded well against Chelsea in the FA Cup after being knocked out of the Champions League, they are looking to keep pace with Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premier League. Both Arsenal and Liverpool secured victories over the weekend, putting pressure on City to perform in their upcoming game.

Erling Haaland was absent from City training after picking up a knock against Chelsea, and there are concerns about his availability for the Brighton clash. Phil Foden, who played a full game against Chelsea, was also missing from training. Julian Alvarez, another key player, did eventually join the training session after being initially absent. However, John Stones, who had to be substituted at half-time in the Chelsea game, was back in training and is expected to be fit for the Brighton match.

Fans will be eager to hear updates from Pep Guardiola regarding the availability of Haaland, Foden, and Alvarez for the upcoming game. While their absence from training may be a precautionary measure, given their crucial roles in the team’s success this season, it is understandable why there may be concern. The trio have been instrumental in City’s performances, with Alvarez and Foden registering a significant number of goal contributions. Hopefully, all three players can recover in time for the Brighton clash.
