That's why most manager don't like releasing their star player during the international break but everyone knows it's vital for them to go and representative their country so it's needed for them to play. Manchester city losing haaland would be a great loss but I think pep guadiola is going to find a way to adjust the squad to soot their playing as Manchester city has players who can play haaland position and really do well too at that.
You can't really make an excuse to avoid being called by your country to participate in the international competition like that. Manchester city has not yet lost haaland. There are many players who were injured and this is also disrupting the performance from the club./
As far as i know that if haaland was not facing serious injury and he can play against liverpool. I do agree with international break sometimes were ruining the club by making a lot of players were suffering various injury.
This makes me think that if sometimes players can use various excuses not to participate in the international competition, that will put its players into the long term problem.
The injury may also affect the performance from the club. You will be missing some important players and this is going to be a big blow for any team. That's bad to hear many players were injured but haaland is fine now.
