The enormous potential of Erling Haaland hides a less attractive face, that of being a star who cracks more than he should for being just 21 years old. This past Saturday he broke again, this time against Hoffenheim, and Borussia admitted yesterday that there is an injury, although the commotion that there is always with the Norwegian leads them not to offer an estimated period of absence. “He suffers from muscle problems, he will undergo treatment and new tests in the coming days”, reads the statement. No more. Well, yes, there was a hidden message…
While Real Madrid continues to scrutinize the signing of Haaland and contemplate the complications that arise almost every day, the giant’s physique comes to the fore. This new injury it is the eleventh that suffers since October 2019: different muscle problems, three knee ailments, a broken fiber, and he has also been suffering from the hip flexor muscle and the abdominals. Total, 25 games out (Benzema, in the same period of time, only missed eleven with Madrid) and it is not yet clear if he will be able to return after this break, on February 6 against Bayer Leverkusen. Too many visits to the infirmary for the great jewel of the transfer market.
His club allows him to leave Germany
Borussia is on the lead with Haaland’s future and even more so, if possible, with injuries. In October 2020 they allowed him to go to Qatar to overcome a fiber rupture in the tendon of the curve. “We respect his wish to go with specialists,” admitted Michael Zorc, then sporting director. borussia. Last October, the Nordic repeated the maneuver but this time going to Marbella in good weather on the Costa del Sol with a club recovery after telling Marco Rose that he could “not even walk”. He likes the Marbella air so much that at the turn of the year he did not hide his intentions of coming to our League next summer. for now, this new injury in principle will be cured in Dortmund while around him an intense commercial war breaks out between brands that fight to sponsor him.
Madrid continue to have Haaland at the top of their goals along with Mbappé and the plan follows the same course despite the complications derived from the delicate state of health of Mino Raiola, the man who manages the Scandinavian’s affairs, but the ghost of the great transfers that have become habitual injuries (Bale, Hazard…) is not easy to drive away.
