After Euro 2024 and the Copa America, Manchester City players, including Erling Haaland, have returned for pre-season training at the CFA. Pep Guardiola has welcomed back some of his squad, while those who participated in Euro 2024, except for Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol, have been given extended breaks. Julian Alvarez, who won the Copa America, will also have some time off before heading to the Olympics.
Haaland, who did not have international involvement this summer due to Norway not qualifying for Euro 2024, is rested and ready for the new season. Despite missing some time last season due to an injury, Haaland made 45 appearances totaling 3745 minutes. His return to pre-season training has been welcomed by fans and teammates, as a well-rested Haaland could provide a significant boost to City in the upcoming season.
With many players returning from international tournaments possibly fatigued, Haaland’s freshness is seen as a positive for Manchester City.

As Haaland begins his third season with the club, expectations are high for him to repeat his goal-scoring success and contribute to City’s title aspirations.
