Erling Haaland Injury Update: Pep Guardiola Issues Real Madrid Warning Pep Guardiola has warned Real Madrid that Erling Haaland is not going to be a problem for them in the Champions League, despite the Norwegian striker's injury woes. Manchester City's star forward has been struggling with a hip problem and was forced off the pitch during Saturday's 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur. However, Guardiola believes that Haaland will make it back in time for City's European campaign, which begins on March 7 when they take on RB Leipzig. "Erling is not going to be a problem," the Manchester City manager said at his pre-match press conference yesterday. "He's just having a bit of a hip issue, and we'll get him sorted." The warning comes as Manchester City prepare to face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals, with the first leg set to take place on April 5. Guardiola has previously praised Haaland's ability to cause chaos in the opposition's box, saying that he is "a joy to watch" and "one of the best strikers in the world". Real Madrid will be desperate to keep Haaland quiet if they are to have any chance of progressing past Manchester City, but Guardiola believes that his side has the quality to overcome any challenge. "We're a team that can adapt," he said. "We've got players who can play in different positions and make it difficult for the opponent."#Manchester_City #Real_Madrid #Tottenham_Hotspur #Pep_Guardiola #Erling_Haaland #RB_Leipzig
