Erling Haaland issued a playful apology to a fellow Man City player after fans noticed a spelling mistake in a birthday message he posted. The striker recently returned to first-team training after being sidelined due to a foot injury sustained in a match against Aston Villa last December. Although he did not play in the club’s recent 1-0 FA Cup win over Tottenham, Haaland seems to be in good spirits on social media, hinting at an imminent return to action.
During his recovery, Haaland has been under the care of City physio Mario Pafundi, who has been with the club since 2016. Pafundi, along with manager Pep Guardiola, has been crucial in Haaland’s rehabilitation process. As a way of showing his appreciation, Haaland decided to send birthday wishes to his colleague.
Haaland’s injury occurred in a 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa on December 6, and he has been on the road to recovery under the guidance of the City medical staff. Despite missing out on several matches, Haaland’s return to training indicates that he is close to resuming his on-field duties with the team.
City fans are eager to see Haaland back in action, given his impressive performances prior to his injury. The striker’s goal-scoring abilities have been sorely missed, but there is hope that his return will bolster the team’s attacking options.
As the Norwegian player gears up for his comeback, fans are eagerly anticipating his return to the pitch. With his positive attitude and determination to regain full fitness, Haaland’s return will undoubtedly be a significant boost for Man City.
