Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Erling Haaland could return next week against Burnley.
Haaland has been missing since the 1-0 loss to Aston Villa in early December with a foot injury.
In the start we thought it was a bit less, but there was a little fracture on the bone.," said Guardiola.
When you have these kind of injuries, it's between six and eight weeks out - it's not a lot.
The bone needs time to close and now he's almost at the end of eight weeks next weekend or next week. He feels good and now he needs time for the rhythm and start to get the minutes, then he will be fit.
In Abu Dhabi and here in the last week to 10 last days, he didn't feel anything which is a good sign.
Coming back after two three sessions he felt a little bit of disturbance, that's why we were cautious, but now he feels good and in three or four more days, hopefully against Burnley, he can play some minutes and after that, we will see."
