Hopefully he fit for the weekend

Alistair Mann, commentating on the official website, said it was a foot or ankle injury.

Was it because of that knock against Newcastle ? because some dickheads were insulting me before the game and claimed it had nothing to do with that.

Dunno.

Tonight showed just how good this guy has been this season. Our best player by a country mile.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Please be fit for Sunday

 

[Worzel Gummidge#9]

Played well tonight

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

I wonder if Haaland not playing is because of injury or a tactical move

‘Not close to a return’ according to TNT tonight (and they were apparently quoting Pep). Somewhat disconcerting……

Im hoping he is.

But if we try to rush him back to play, then fuck that, let him rest.

Im tired of that happening all season.

He said in his post-match press conference that scans of Haaland's knee looked "fine" but that Haaland was still feeling a little discomfort when walking up stairs and said himself he wasn't quite ready. Pep didn't seem to think it was that serious.

Such a shame him and foden not able to play tonight.

 

[WestGorton]

He is a Manchester City legend already.

 

[Goatmeal]

Like someone said. I won’t be happy until I see him running around that pitch on a match day.
I have zero confidence in our medical team at the moment. All these injuries can’t all be bad luck.

 

[Goatmeal]

Still an injury doubt. Fingers crossed he is ok.
One of the strangest injuries iv seen. I didn’t expect him to get up and walk off smiling from him going down.
So you think, right, he is fit to play next game after training.
Would they have done a scan as a matter of course?
Maybe we are just being ultra cautious. If so I hope the examination has been thorough.

 

[Ken92]

Did he train today with rest of the squad?

Doesn’t look like it..

 

[skillman]

Not looking good for tomorrow. Killer.

Absolutely criminal that he was allowed to carry on when mcatee scored against the toon . When he went down he should have been pulled straight away

Agree. It was the same with KDB v Inter.

And some people insulted me when I criticized Pep for it, "oh it's easy in hindsight", no it's easy because it made absolutely no sense for Marmoush to get hooked after 60 minutes when he barely played in the first leg against Madrid while Haaland who has been playing 90 minutes non stop since the start of the season stayed on for over 80 minutes.

We finally have another forward and instead of giving Erl some rest when the game was done he leaves him on risking an injury right before the Madrid second leg and Liverpool, just another inexplicable decision from Pep.
