Injury Updates

If its good enough for Rashford....

This bothers me, Nunez pulls out of Uruguay's squad with an unspecified injury....Rashford limps off near the end of the match.....have they both gone to the national teams doctors to be signed off?

 

[Saddleworth2]

I'm sick of this bullshit. Rashford gets to put his feet up for a week yet erling gets an injury training for a flipping internation friendly.

Wish pep was a bastard when it came to internationals

His injury was incurred against Burnley. Don’t think he has trained for Norway.

 

[bluedanza]

I think this is more likely the Norwegian FA erring on side of caution. Haaland has turned up ready to play, he ended the last game uninjured. He’s now on Norway’s clock and if he gets injured playing for them they’re on the hook for £800k a week until he’s fit

He'll have had his physio from City, Mario Pafundi, with him at Norway. It sounds like he's almost his personal physiotherapist so if there is any doubts at all about a risk of playing Haaland, Pafundi will have City's interests in mind.

 

[J.G.Blue.]

I've heard that we play better without him anyway.

Yep, he is just a want away tap in merchant who hardly touches the ball ;-)

 

[Gingers Dad]

This part seems a bit worrying they did some test and found a problem it's big Qualifiers for Norway as well they would have done everything possible to play him View attachment 72740

Roberto Martinez shakes his head in disbelief

Forgot about that, good point.

Also he doesn’t strike me as a player who wants to miss big games so unless his groin is hanging by a thread then he’ll play against the dippers.

Just pulled out of Norway squad with a groin injury…

 

[Gordyola]

Erling Braut Haaland had some pain in his groin after the match against Burnley.

- We hoped that this was just a familiarity that would carry over to Saturday, but after doing tests and examinations yesterday it became clear that he will not make it to the games against Spain and Georgia. It is better that he receives medical follow-up at the club, says national team doctor Ola Sand.

Haaland thus travels home from the national team meeting.

Sounds a precaution

I thought it was Erling BERT Haaland :)

 

[trevorriley]

apparently we are better without him anyhow

 

[don84]

I thought it was Erling BERT Haaland :)

I thought you were Guardiola:)

 

[cleavers]

Pretty sure I saw him holding it first half after stretching on Saturday.

 

[Father Paul]

Pretty sure I saw him holding it first half after stretching on Saturday.

He is bound to miss games at some stage of the season but a worry if he was to be out for 4 to 6 weeks which is fairly normal for a groin strain with the fixtures coming up in April.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Well according to some of our fans, pundits, other fans.. we're better off without him arent we. wtf.

 

[Kippax77]

Pretty sure I saw him holding it first half after stretching on Saturday.

Yeah I saw that too

 

[Alfie Budd]

Best case scenario is that he’s fine for the Liverpool game and Pep has the opportunity to throw in some mind games and keep the scousers guessing over his fitness right up until the team is named.

 

[ScottSinclair]

Sorry, no way he drops out of the Spain game unless it is serious. Hope I'm wrong

 

[Gray]

Sorry, no way he drops out of the Spain game unless it is serious. Hope I'm wrong

Bollocks to that, get him back at the Etihad.

 

[Rammy Blue]

A mild groin strain is an injury that can be played through, I’ve done it often enough myself.

It’ll just be down to whether we risk him against the dippers or just prioritise making sure he’s 100% for Bayern at home on the 11th.

 

[TonyM]

I also have a groin.
