Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed uncertainty about the duration of Erling Haaland’s absence due to a foot injury.
Erling Haaland, the Norwegian striker, who had consistently featured in all of Manchester City’s league matches this season, was notably absent from the squad for the Premier League game against Luton Town on Sunday (14:00 GMT) due to a foot injury.

“A bone stress reaction in his foot,” said Guardiola when asked about Haaland’s issue.
“After the last game against Aston Villa, he felt it and he cannot play.”
Haaland leads this season’s top-flight scoring chart with 14 goals, and has 19 in all competitions for City.
“I don’t know (the length of the injury). Week by week, day by day, we will see what happens,” added Guardiola.
“Erling has been so important since he’s arrived, that’s for sure. But during the season we see this sort of thing. Injuries, suspensions, problems, we have to adapt.”
