Manchester City got good news as Erling Haaland returned to training after an ankle injury. His return is important as City aims to win the Premier League title.
HAALAND BACK ON THE TRAINING PITCH
Haaland joined Manchester City’s full training session. He was out for several weeks with an ankle injury, which he got during City’s 2-1 FA Cup win last month. Fans worried about his availability for the season’s final games. Photos show Haaland playing small-sided games with Jack Grealish, Ederson, and others.
Haaland’s return means City could have a nearly fit squad, with only John Stones, Nathan Ake, and Oscar Bobb still recovering.
IMPACT ON CITY’S TITLE RACE
Manchester City is second in the Premier League, one point behind leader Arsenal. Haaland is City’s top scorer this season with 24 league goals and six assists in 28 games. City missed his presence and dropped points in recent matches. But his return could be key in City’s bid to overtake Arsenal in the final weeks of the season.
Key players like Rodri and Ederson have also returned recently, giving manager Pep Guardiola more options as the games become more intense.
LOOKING AHEAD TO WOLVES CLASH
Manchester City plays Wolverhampton Wanderers at home on Friday night. Wolves are in mid-table, while City is one point behind Arsenal and two points ahead of third-place Liverpool. A win could put pressure on Arsenal, who play later in the weekend.
With Haaland back, City hopes to regain their attacking edge in the title race’s crucial final stages. Guardiola is expected to provide more updates on the squad in his pre-match press conference on Thursday.
