Injuries - 2023/24 | Ederson cleared to return to training (p 146)

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.

Not a lot you can do with stress fractures. It just takes time.

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.
 
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.

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.
 
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.
