Announced by Pep Guardiola today, Manchester City will have a full squad to face off against City Legend, Vincent Kompanys side on Wednesday.
It has been over 55 days since Erling Haaland has appeared on the team sheet for Manchester City and fans have been begging for the return of the record breaker. After the return of Kevin De Bruyne, fans were elated and only a week later they receive the gift of Erling Haaland back into the squad.
The last game Haaland appeared in was the 1-0 loss to Aston Villa where they only managed 2 shots on target against them which is the lowest of any game that Pep Guardiola has been in charge of in his managerial career.
With the return of Haaland, he must be hoping to get clear of Mo Salah in the leading scorers in the Premier League with both of them scoring 14 goals for their respective clubs this year.
Another player who has returned is Manuel Akanji who has been crucial for the defence of the champions since he joined the club last year from Borussia Dortmund.
He is also joined by the return of John Stones and Ederson in defence with both of them returning from injuries picked up from bad tackles after a late offside flag was put up. Ederson was left with a hole in his leg and John Stones picked up an ankle injury however neither are too serious as they are available for the blues tomorrow.
This will be the first time in the 2023/24 season where Pep Guardiola can field his first team side without injuries and suspensions stopping him. With the return of De Bruyne and Haaland, fans can expect goals to come from this game with each of them being the reason why the goal tally was so high last year.
