Erling Haaland has returned to full team training with Manchester City, the Premier League champions confirmed on Tuesday, following a spell on the sidelines with a muscular issue. The club said the striker completed multiple sessions this week as medical staff continue to assess his readiness for competitive action ahead of a congested run of fixtures.
City officials said Haaland trained without restrictions and showed no adverse reaction, a key step after missing recent matches. Manager Pep Guardiola indicated that the forward’s workload would be managed carefully, adding that final decisions on selection would depend on training data and medical feedback closer to matchday.
Haaland, 25, has been central to City’s attacking output since joining from Borussia Dortmund, combining pace and power with a prolific scoring record. His absence had prompted tactical adjustments, with Guardiola rotating attacking options during domestic and European competitions.
The club did not provide a specific timeline for Haaland’s return to the starting lineup but said he would be evaluated daily. City face a series of league and cup matches in the coming weeks, increasing the importance of squad depth and fitness management.
Manchester City have not disclosed further details about the injury, and no setbacks have been reported since Haaland resumed training. The story is developing.
