Manchester City's medical team is working round the clock to keep key striker Erling Haaland fit for the season run-in, manager Pep Guardiola said ahead of Saturday's Premier League game at home to Leicester City.
Haaland, who joined from Borussia Dortmund this season, has scored 45 goals in all competitions for City -- a single-season record for any Premier League player.
"I don't know what he's done in Dortmund but we take care of him 24 hours," Guardiola told reporters on Friday. "We have incredible doctors and physiotherapists, they are behind him every second of the day. Guardiola said keeping Haaland fit was important amid a hectic schedule, adding that they are extra careful owing to his 6 feet 5 inches stature.
"It's so demanding, with nutrition, rest, sleep, food... We know we have to watch him because he's so big. The physios take care of him; he is massaged – his back, shoulders, tendons, everything.
