<h2>Erling Haaland injury: How did it happen, when and what is the problem?</h2>
<p>Haaland picked up a groin injury in City&#8217;s FA Cup win over Burnley, just before the international break.</p>
<p>The news was confirmed by the Norwegian FA after Haaland withdrew from his country&#8217;s Euro 2024 qualifying matches.</p>
<p>And Haaland&#8217;s father, Alfie, gave an interview to Norwegian TV, describing him as &#8216;touch and go&#8217; for City&#8217;s Premier League game against Liverpool.</p>
<p>There  is always scepticism around international break injuries, however the issue turned out to be genuine and kept him out of City&#8217;s Gameweek 29 squad.</p>
<h2>What has happened since the Liverpool game in FPL Gameweek 29?</h2>
<p>City&#8217;s Twitter account confirmed Haaland was &#8216;back&#8217; on Wednesday (April 5), with a slow-motion <a href="https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/1643578747801550849">video</a> of him jogging up some stairs and onto the training pitch.</p>
<p>It was followed by a <a href="https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/1643584039511547905">post</a> &#8211; with images &#8211;  which read: &#8220;A familiar face returns to training!&#8221;</p>
<p>The update was a good sign for those who still have Haaland in their FPL teams and there have been more pictures since, including one of him athletically leaping to head a ball.</p>

<h2>What is the latest on Haaland&#8217;s injury</h2>
<p>Guardiola met with journalists ahead of City&#8217;s FPL Gameweek 30 trip to Southampton at 17:30 on Saturday (April 8).</p>
<p>He said:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;He trained the last two days really good so he will be ready. &#8220;</p></blockquote>
<p>The positive update indicated Haaland owners could expect at least some game time from the 6ft, 4ins forward.</p>
<p>It is likely to make it easier for those who don&#8217;t currently Haaland to transfer him in, with <strong>Ivan Toney </strong>among the candidates to make way.</p>
