Pep Guardiola has announced that striker Erling Haaland may be sidelined for up to seven weeks due to an ankle injury sustained against Bournemouth. Despite being hopeful for his return before the end of the season and the FIFA Club World Cup, Guardiola acknowledged the growing list of injuries affecting his team's performance. Manchester City currently sits fifth in the Premier League, and Guardiola expressed concern over the lack of a suitable replacement for Haaland. He emphasized the need for adaptation in their strategy due to Haaland's unique qualities.
The doctors told me between five and seven weeks [out]. So hopefully the end of the season and by the Club World Cup he will be ready.
Sometimes there are years when these kinds of things happen. It has happened all season.
We don't have another player with Erling Haaland's skills or his specific qualities - we know that. But we have to adapt.
I’m so sorry for them and for Erling as well. So [I wish him] a good recovery, as speedy as possible.
