Earlring Halland, a standout for the Norwegian national team, may not be ready to play against Leicester City on Saturday in a Premier League contest, according to Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola.
Halland, who had 22 goals in 17 games for Manchester City this season, was injured when playing against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, according to Gasiola, who also claimed that the player had a health issue.
Halland is in fantastic shape, but we will practise in a few hours, at which point we will assess the situation, Guardiola stated at the press conference held on Friday when asked if he might play in the encounter on Saturday.
After that, we shall make a decision.
In the event that Halland is unable to play, Julian Alvarez will naturally take his place in the starting lineup, according to Guardiola.
Argentine international Alvarez, who joined Manchester City before the season, scored four goals for the team, including one goal in the Premier League, and the match against Dortmund last Tuesday witnessed his fourth participation in the basic formation.
According to Guardiola’s comments as quoted by the British Press Agency “BA Media,” Alvarez would be the obvious replacement choice if Halland were to miss a game. Julian’s goal total is not how I evaluate him.
He continued: He will score goals by playing the full 90 minutes in each game. Perhaps not like Erling, but it will score goals..
Halland is hurt and is feeling unwell, according to Guardiola.
