Pep Guardiola reveals expected Erling Haaland return date

Image
Pep Guardiola doesn't expect Erling Haaland to return to action for Manchester City until early February, with the Norwegian still nursing a foot injury. Haaland hasn't played since City's 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa on December 6, missing the club's last four Premier League games and the Club World Cup. City have kept their cool in Haaland's absence, picking up 10 points from a possible 12 in the Premier League, and recently welcomed Kevin De Bruyne back to soften the blow of missing their lead talisman. Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden have stepped up in the goalscoring department for City, and they'll need to be at their best when the champions take on Newcastle United at St James' Park in Saturday's late game. Speaking to the media at his pre-match press conference, Guardiola confirmed that Haaland is still not ready to return to action, admitting his bone-related issue has gone on a little longer than the club had initially expect ed. "A little b...

Erling Haaland injury: Progress & potential return date for Man City

Image
Erling Haaland has been spending more time on the sidelines than he or Manchester City would have expected this season, and that seemingly set to continue into 2024. The Norwegian striker has 14 Premier League goals to his name this season but that number would undoubtedly be higher were he able to stay off of the treatment table. His absence has come at the same time as a poor run of form for Man City, although they did come from behind and beat Everton in their penultimate game of 2023. Julian Alvarez has been stepping up in Haaland's absence and the depth of their squad means that they can generally cope with anything, but missing Haaland at the same time as Kevin De Bruyne is going to cause any club some trouble. Here is the latest news about Haaland's condition, his expected return, and what Pep Guardiola has to say about the matter. When will Erling Haaland return from injury?

Karl Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards injury updates: Wolves stars could return Wednesday vs. Hawks, per report

The Minnesota Timberwolves are holding onto their playoff hopes by a thread right now. They had a big win on Monday against the New York Knicks, but they are still just 36-37 and lead the No. 11-seeded Los Angeles Lakers in the standings by only one Game . Fortunately, they are expecting reinforcements in the very near future. According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, both Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards could return to the lineup as soon as Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Towns has been out since November due to a Grade 3 calf strain. He reportedly suffered a setback in his rehabilitation earlier in the season, and has therefore been out roughly four months, but now the Timberwolves are expecting to get their All-Star big man back in the fold quickly. Edwards suffered what looked like a scary ankle injury in Thursday's loss to the Chicago Bulls when he seemingly sprained his ankle and neede...

Warriors 'winning the right way' ahead of Stephen Curry's return, but still must overcome one major roadblock

SAN FRANCISCO -- Klay Thompson was styling. Jordan Poole was smiling. Jonathan Kuminga was posterizing. Pure jubilation exuded from Chase Center as the Golden State Warriors closed out a 5-0 homestand with another comeback win, this time a 108-99 affair against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. Most impressive was the fact that they won every Game without the aid of Andrew Wiggins, who is out indefinitely due to a family matter, and Stephen Curry, who is expected to make his return from lower leg injuries on Sunday. This is just the second five-game winning streak of the season for the Warriors, who have sought momentum like a missing remote control for the entirety of their baffling 2022 title defense. They're now four games above .500 for the first time this season, within a single game of the fourth-seeded Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference. Golden State's other five- Game streak, interestingl...

Stephen Curry intends to return Sunday vs. Lakers barring a setback, per report

Stephen Curry intends to return to the floor Sunday when the Golden State Warriors host the Los Angeles Lakers barring setbacks between now and then, according to Bleacher Report's Chris Haynes. Curry has been out since he suffered partial tears in two lower-leg li Game nts on Feb. 4 against the Dallas Mavericks. Curry has missed time with both this leg injury and a shoulder injury earlier in the season, but when he has been on the floor, he has had one of the best seasons of his illustrious career. He is currently averaging 29.4 points per Game , the third-highest mark of his career, and his effective field goal percentage of 61.9 percent trails only his historic 2016 unanimous MVP season. Despite playing in only 38 Game s thus far this season, he still ranks eighth in the NBA with 185 made 3-pointers on the season. Golden State has rallied as a team despite Curry's absence. They had won their past th...
