Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is set to return for Manchester City after being on the sidelines as the champions host struggling Burnley in the Premier League on 31st January 2024.
Burnley is currently being managed by former City defender, Vincent Kompany.
Haaland has been out of action for almost two months with a foot injury. The foot injury has been his most significant lay-off since he joined Manchester City.
The 23-year-old Norwegian scored 52 goals last season in a remarkable first campaign with the club. He had already netted 19 goals this season before he sustained the injury in early December 2023.
The Norwegian returned to training earlier in January and is now at least likely to be included in the matchday squad to face Kompany’s side.
“Apparently he will be [available to be] selected. For the first time he is back,” Guardiola said.
“When we have all the squad we are stronger, definitely, and Erling is an important player for us, ” he added.
