I couldn’t agree more with you on the case of big and club side important players like that of Haaland not getting involved with national team games when there is nothing or very little at stake, but Haaland might be very due for an injury and it’s evident with the way Guardiola have been managing his minutes very well and making sure he doesn’t play when not necessary but for a player with an injury history, fatigue and knocks could be a factor of accumulated playing regardless of the how long they sit out of matches.
It seems this wasn’t a far fetched speculation as current reports has it that, E. Haaland has got an ankle injury from an in-house training. It’s exaggerated to be one that could be career threatening or season long. I checked what stats the FPL has placed on him and his got 75% chance of playing. This left me with mixed feelings in what could be the actual case here.
Though I don’t have him on my team as I transferred him out over the last 2 GWs, I had thoughts of a possible return but, that’s not until his injury news is clear but then, what’s the case with him.
Anyone with some legit update on E. Haaland’e injury status?
I read one report just now and there is no exact news but things that Norway coach said sound promising. He said something in line that it isn't serious and that if that was important game he would maybe be able to play it to the end. Seems like minor ankle sprain, should be back for Liverpool but if he is not than definitely soon after that.
He had one unfortunate sentence which is probably translated wrong and said something like "it isn't career threatening" but those words, even when used in such context imply it was much more serious stuff than it actually was.
Still plenty of time to get news before the match, and that match is early kick off so we will also have leaked line ups. Just be patient and wait.
