We’ve missed the big man up top — but it looks like he’s nearly back.
Erling Haaland has dropped a subtle but exciting update for Manchester City fans, posting a snap of his boots before training with the caption: “Getting there!” And let’s be honest, that’s the kind of news that gives every Blue a lift.
Despite battling through a few knocks this season, the Norwegian machine has still done what he does best: bang in goals. 30 goals and 4 assists in 40 games is not a quiet season by any stretch — it just shows the ridiculous standards he’s set for himself.
In his absence, Omar Marmoush has stepped up and shown real class, with Pep Guardiola giving the Egyptian plenty of praise for his performances. But make no mistake — Haaland is our main man. He’s the one who turns chances into goals, who terrifies defenders, and who gives us that clinical edge in the biggest games.
With the business end of the season in full swing, Pep will be desperate to have Haaland fit and firing again — especially with a potential FA Cup final on the horizon and the FIFA Club World Cup looming this summer. You can feel that final push building, and having Erling back could be the difference between silverware and near-miss.
That Snapchat post might not say much — but for City fans, it says everything. He’s nearly there.
