The Norwegian forward had been dealing with a muscle issue, sidelining him for both the FA Cup semi-final victory over Chelsea and the 4-0 triumph against Brighton. However, he gradually returned to action against Nottingham Forest, seizing the opportunity to score and guide the reigning champions to victory.
Guardiola has provided an optimistic update on Haaland’s fitness, stating, “Yes. When everybody is fit they have to be ready. I don’t know tomorrow, of course, I have doubts about one or two players. But the rest of the gameplan, what I want to do, I see the last games for Wolves. But he’s ready.”
Furthermore, Guardiola confirmed the availability of Phil Foden, Ederson, and Ruben Dias for the upcoming match, as they missed the previous game due to illness.
“Phil Foden and Ruben Dias are okay. (Ederson’s injury) looked worse than it is. He trained yesterday and feels good. He could be back against Wolves,” Guardiola added.
Following their elimination from the Champions League by Real Madrid, Manchester City enjoyed a rare midweek break. Guardiola welcomed the respite from constant action, highlighting the importance of utilizing the time for quality training sessions focused on tactics and details.
With the season approaching its climax, every match holds significance for City. They rely on their fully fit squad to achieve success across multiple competitions. With key players returning and a renewed emphasis on preparation, Guardiola’s team aims to finish the season strongly and defend their Premier League and FA Cup titles.
