Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has provided an update on Erling Haaland's fitness.
The Norway forward is out of action at present and has not featured since City's 1-0 loss to Aston Villa earlier this month.
He has a bone stress fracture in his foot and City do not want to rush his recovery.
"Still he's not with the team," Guardiola told Amazon Prime. "He feels better with his bone but he hasn't made one training session with us.
Unfortunately December is so congested with so many teams.
"January is so congested. Hopefully in January he can come back with us."
"Last week he trained with us, today he had a little bit of fatigue because he's training hard," Guardiola added on midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.
