Erling Haaland nearing Man City comeback after participating in recent training sessions

Erling Haaland hasn’t played since Man City 1-0 defeat to Villians
In an attempt to recover from a bone stress injury to his foot, star striker Erling Haaland has returned to Manchester City’s training. Pep claims that although Erling Haaland is “close,” the striker is still not ready. “During the last two days, he has participated in some training sessions.”
After playing in the Premier League on December 6 against Aston Villa, the goal machine has not appeared in a match for the English champs.
However, the Norwegian returned to training on Monday in Abu Dhabi, where the team has established a training camp for the pleasant temperatures, and he has since scheduled a return.
“Oh how I’ve missed this!” was the message the Cityzens star wrote beside a photo from Monday’s workout on Instagram.
