March 30, (THEWILL) – With the resumption of club football, Manchester City fans are anxiously awaiting the fitness status of Erling Haaland, as their team prepares to face off against Liverpool in a crucial English Premier League match on Saturday.
As things stand, City is trailing Arsenal by eight points in the standings and a win over Liverpool is essential to both keep their title defence alive and prevent Arsenal from extending their lead even further.
Haaland has been a goal-scoring machine for City since joining from Borussia Dortmund. He is currently nursing a groin injury that caused him to pull out of Norway’s March fixtures and miss training on Thursday. While his father has expressed doubt about his ability to recover in time for the Liverpool match, City fans remain hopeful that their star striker will be able to take to the field.
In addition to Haaland’s injury, City will also be without midfielder Phil Foden, who recently underwent appendix surgery. Despite these setbacks, City remain determined to secure a victory over Liverpool, who are still in the hunt for a Champions League spot.
A win would not only keep Pep Guardiola’s side’s title hopes alive, but also put pressure on Arsenal, who face off against 14th-placed Leeds United later on Saturday.
