Has Haaland broken/fractured his metatarsal?
Just seems odd how City have underplayed it, but as always the proof in the pudding is in the eating.
He's been out just about 5 weeks, and it looks like maybe after the Abu Dabi break, he may be back in training. Any medical folk on here got an opinion on this.

I think they're just playing it very conservatively. I watched the presser just now and Pep really didn't seem too concerned.Has Haaland broken/fractured his metatarsal?

Not a lot you can do with stress fractures. It just takes time.Has Haaland broken/fractured his metatarsal?

I’ve got a kid with a broken metarsal now and I don’t think someone with that injury would be training at 5 weeks. Obviously my kid is not an elite athlete but he’s younger so heals faster and he’s still not nearly mobile enough for a training session - and Haaland has been training for a while. I also assume if Haaland did break or fracture it we would have seen him in a boot at some point. I was told by my son’s orthopedic a stress fracture could take even longer to heal, but there is obviously a range for that.Has Haaland broken/fractured his metatarsal?

Akanji out for a few weeks meaning we'll have zero defensive options on the bench for the foreseeable.
Winter break definitely coming at a good time.

I'm curious and a bit worried about who plays tomorrow at RB. Idk if Walker has been training, given his personal life issues and Stones and Akanji are injured as well. I assume Rico Lewis? I love the lad but would be concerned about him versus Gordon.Akanji out for a few weeks meaning we'll have zero defensive options on the bench for the foreseeable.

I always got the feeling from pep that he was never really gonna be back for tomorrow and has always been resting him fully till after the winter break. I think long term it will be a positive.I think they're just playing it very conservatively. I watched the presser just now and Pep really didn't seem too concerned.

So it sounds like all three will miss Newcastle and Spurs (FA Cup) but all have a chance for Burnley depending how they go in Abu Dhabi.
At least Akanji isn’t a major injury.
Thats how I read Pep’s comments.

Must’ve been a fractured bone after all.Hmmmm. Didn't like the sound of Pep's answer at the presser about Erling. Suggested that he'd had a very slight setback.

Walker has been training
Is that what they call it nowadays?
Still thinkAkanji & Stones at the same time could/will hurt us in the build-up play...bad news
Walker, Dias, Gvardiol, Ake
Rodri
is more than capable of starting a move.

100% a stress fracture - Pep has been economical with the truth again - understandably I suppose.Must’ve been a fractured bone after all.

The thickest fans we have had at our place in a while. More accurately I’d describe them as utter cuntsTo think the daft Yorkshire muppets singing you soft bastard at him and booing players for getting fouled.
Would be great to have Stones and/or Akanji back for spurs to give a bit of composure in the buildup to prevent it becoming a basketball match. Getting Erling back is not too critical at the moment, we don't really NEED him until arguably against liverpool in March. Of course he will help to kill games off a bit earlier...
