Guardiola reveals why Halland got rid of the injury

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said that the star of his Norwegian team, Erling Haaland, got rid of the injury problems that have plagued his career in recent seasons, and the Spanish coach defended his club's decision to send a physiotherapist with Halland during his time with his country.

Haaland, who joined City from Borussia Dortmund, suffered a groin injury last season, but has participated in all seven of City's Premier League matches so far, scoring 11 goals.

In response to a question about the travel of physiotherapist Mario Pavondi with Haaland during his presence with the Norwegian national team during the last international holiday, Guardiola told reporters, "It is not strange. In events such as the European Championship or the World Cup, many physiotherapists travel with the players."

Before the Manchester City summit between City and Manchester United, the Spanish coach indicated that he considers the physiotherapy department very important because of its effective role in caring for the players.

Guardiola added, "Last season, Erling suffered a lot in Dortmund. He was injured most of the season. He joined us with problems after undergoing minor surgery in the summer. He started working with Mario and with Manuel Rico and others. Thanks to them and thanks to his work ethic of course he was able to Playing regularly, unlike last season .. The relationship is good between Mario and Erling and he was asked to travel with him to Norway and this has already happened.”

City, which is ranked second in the Premier League, will meet its guest and neighbor, Manchester United, fifth in the standings, tomorrow.
