Carabao Cup: Haaland to miss Man City’s clash against Watford

Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland, will not be available for their Carabao Cup fixture against Watford on Wednesday.

According to Goal, Haaland has flown back to Norway due to a bereavement.

The 24-year-old has been granted leave by City to attend the funeral of a family friend, Ivar Eggja, who passed away earlier this month.

Eggja, a close confidante to Haaland, played an important role in the player’s career and personal life, offering both guidance and support.

City had earlier planned to grant Haaland a “compassionate leave”.

However, he played against Brentford and Arsenal in the league and also against Inter Milan in the Champions League last week.
