Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed concerns about the fitness of striker Erling Haaland, who missed their recent matches against Real Madrid and Chelsea due to injury. Despite this setback, Manchester City secured a 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the Emirates FA Cup semi-final, with Bernardo Silva scoring the winning goal. The win extended Manchester City’s unbeaten run to 29 matches, a new club record, and booked their place in the FA Cup final for the first time since 1956.
There are doubts about Haaland’s availability for Manchester City’s upcoming matches against Brighton and Nottingham Forest, as Guardiola stated that the striker is injured but the extent of the injury is uncertain. Haaland has already missed several games this season due to injury, including a two-month absence earlier in the campaign. Despite his injury concerns, Haaland remains a top contender in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot with 20 goals so far this season.
Should Manchester City win their remaining matches, they could complete a domestic double by lifting both the Premier League title and FA Cup trophy. Guardiola’s focus will be on managing Haaland’s injury to ensure the striker is back on the pitch as soon as possible, as Manchester City looks to maintain their impressive form and secure more silverware in the final stretch of the season.
