Guardiola explained the reason why Holland did not play against Real

Manchester City's top scorer Erling Haaland did not play in the second leg of the Champions League play-off against Real Madrid.

City manager Josep Guardiola has given reasons why the Norwegian striker did not help his team in a difficult match.

- Erling tried to train before the match. Haaland was injured in the match against Newcastle.

Scans taken during the medical examination showed that there was nothing dangerous. However, Erling felt pain in his leg when walking and going up and down stairs. Before the match, he came to me and said that he feels bad and is not ready for the match against "Real", said Josep Guardiola.

Let's remember that Erling Holland was injured in the 88th minute of the match against "Newcastle" in the 25th round of the English Premier League. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
