Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca revealed that Erling Haaland had provided a brief but positive update on his health after ending Saturday’s win over Ipswich Town hobbling off in visible distress. The No. 9 was “O.K.”
Haaland is playing a lot better than “O.K.” despite the ongoing turmoil surrounding Manchester City. The relentlessly prolific Norwegian nabbed another brace against Ipswich, taking his tally to a ridiculous 12 goals in his last eight appearances for the club. As Maresca laughed earlier this season: “How do you say in English? Happy wife, happy life? For us, happy Erling, happy life.”
