Erling Haaland might be sidelined for Manchester City’s next Premier League matchup with Brentford. Speculation that Pep Guardiola may give Haaland compassionate leave in light of the sad death of his close friend Ivar Eggja has been circulating on social media hinting at a possible absence for Haaland in the Man City vs Brentford fixture.
According to rumours, the Norwegian striker may skip the game to grieve and spend time with his family. Guardiola is reportedly willing to give Haaland the time off the team he needs to heal mentally, even though no official decision has been made.
