""Recovery yesterday [Monday], he didn't train and I didn't see him and the rest of the players yet today," Guardiola said at his news conference on Tuesday. "Hopefully he can play at the weekend. It's been such a demanding week -- the last game especially -- and sometimes the players have problems. I think he will be fine for the weekend. I hope so.""
"Pep Guardiola is hopeful Erling Haaland will be able to recover quickly from the back injury that forced him off during the 1-1 draw with Arsenal. Haaland was surprisingly withdrawn after 76 minutes at the Emirates with Guardiola clarifying afterwards that the Norway forward asked to be substituted after complaining of pain in his back. Haaland is likely to sit out the trip to Huddersfield Town in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday."
Erling Haaland left the 1-1 draw with Arsenal after 76 minutes due to back pain and did not train the following day as part of recovery. Haaland is likely to miss the Carabao Cup trip to Huddersfield Town but could return for Saturday's Burnley match at the Etihad. Guardiola has selected the same starting XI for three consecutive matches but will make changes for the cup, mixing senior players with academy members. The club prioritizes keeping the squad fit ahead of upcoming fixtures against Burnley, Monaco and Brentford.
