Absent during Manchester City’s last two matches, Erling Haaland is operational again and starts on the sidelines for the match against Nottingham Forest this Sunday in the Premier League.
Runner-up to Arsenal who won their North London Derby (2-3) at Tottenham a little earlier this Sunday afternoon, Manchester City can count on the return of Erling Haaland for their meeting in the den of Nottingham Forest , on behalf of the 35th day of the Premier League. Mandatory victory for Pep Guardiola’s men (even if they have one game less than the Gunners, which they will play against Spurs).
The Norwegian striker from Cityzens remains absent from two matches against Chelsea (in the FA Cup) and Brighton (in the PL), after having asked to leave before the extension of the quarter-final second leg of the Champions League lost against Real Madrid (in the penalties), on March 17. His Catalan coach did not appear very worried during the press conferences he gave over the past two weeks.
Without Foden
Julian Alvarez thus continues his interim role at the forefront of the Mancunian attack, with Jérémy Doku, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish in support. Phil Foden is indeed absent due to illness, as is Ruben Dias.
Among the first non-relegation in the ranking, we find Matz Sels in goals as well as Willy Boly and Moussa Niakhaté in defense. Former Toulouse player Ibrahim Sangaré, 2022 world champion Gonzalo Montiel and former Liverpuldian Divock Origi are replacements.
