Maresca Hints at Rest for ‘Complete’ Dad Haaland as Man City Face Porto Challenge
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca revealed that Erling Haaland has matured significantly since becoming a father two years ago, leading to a shift in his priorities despite his continued prolific scoring form.
As City prepares to face Porto in the Champions League, Maresca indicated that Haaland, who has played every minute this season, will eventually need rest to prevent fatigue and injury, with tactical alternatives like Phil Foden and Rayan Cherki available.
The manager also acknowledged the tough challenge Porto presents, highlighting their strong form and set-piece prowess, while providing updates on Nico O’Reilly and Jérémy Doku’s injury status.
