37 missions, 42 goals! Erling Haaland’s record since moving from BVB to Manchester City in the summer of 2022 impressively underlines that the Norwegian is probably the best center forward in the world at the moment. Most recently, however, the 22-year-old was forced to watch due to groin problems. FC Bayern, who are challenging City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, should also be interested in when the return will take place – an update has now followed.
Manchester City star striker Erling Haaland is fit again and returns to the English champions’ squad. The confirmed team manager Pep Guardiola on Friday. “He’s been training for the last two days, really well. He’ll be ready,” said the Spaniard, explaining that the goalscorer is available again.
On Saturday (6:30 p.m.) the Cityzens are guests at FC Southampton as part of the English Premier League, three days later they host FC Bayern (Tuesday, 9 p.m.) in the quarter-final first leg of the premier class.
Despite the outstanding statistics, you will certainly not lay down your arms on Säbener Straße just because Haaland can go hunting for goals for ManCity.
In seven duels (all in Borussia Dortmund jerseys) with FC Bayern, the national player has only suffered defeats. However, Haaland scored five goals against the German record champions. In addition, most of the bankruptcies were rather tight.
How important Haaland is is also revealed by his outstanding quota in the Champions League. In 25 games so far he has scored 33 goals – including a five-pack in the round of 16 against RB Leipzig.
Haaland was absent from the Norwegian national team at the start of the European Championship qualification in March due to an adductor injury. He then missed the furious 4-1 victory in the Premier League’s top game against Liverpool.
