Erng Halland, the Premier League’s leading scorer, has “really improved,” according to Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola, and might play against Fulham on Saturday.
After City had already clinched the group’s top spot, Guardiola decided against fielding Halland against Seville in the Champions League in the middle of the week since the Norwegian had been hurt in front of his former team Borussia Dortmund the week before.
Halland, who immediately joined the Premier League after arriving to Manchester in the summer transfer window, has 22 goals to his credit across a variety of competitions. Tomorrow, Saturday, he could have the chance to add to his incredible tally.
At a press conference on Friday, Guardiola stated that he much improved. Today, we’ll decide (his position).
It’s a step in the right direction; training began today, and we’ll find out after midday whether he can play 90 minutes or less after consulting with the doctor.
Following Gerard Pique’s retirement announcement this week and his final game with the Barcelona squad, with whom he won the Champions League twice while Guardiola was his coach, on Saturday, the Spanish coach complimented the defender.
Guardiola continued: Breaking news.
I am aware of how lovely a person his mother and father are. In important games, he was always at the top of his game. Players of this kind are necessary for all major organisations.
He said, “With Barcelona and Spain, he won everything.” A sensible boy knows when it’s time to retire and that the future will be good. It is a huge honour for me to train him. We worked together for four wonderful years, and his ambition was realised after 13, 14, or 15 years (with Barcelona).
Prior to the week’s games, City’s coach said that Calfin Phelps and Kyle Walker of the England national team are not yet ready to join the group. City is two points behind league leaders Arsenal.
The return date of Halland is disclosed by Guardiola. He communicates with Picky.
