Erling Braut Haaland starts for Manchester City against Brentford on Saturday. The Norwegian was uncertain about the match after losing his friend Ivar Eggja earlier in the week. City manager Pep Guardiola stated on Friday that Haaland would possibly not be involved in the Premier League match. – It is tough for him and the family, and it is really sad news. Our thoughts are with him and his family. We have to see tomorrow if he is physically and mentally ready to play, said Guardiola when he met the press on Friday. Eggja was known as “Mr. fixer” and was responsible for making Haaland’s life as easy as possible. “What a legend you are, Ivar. Words cannot describe how much you have meant to me! Words cannot describe how much you will be missed! Give more fuck! Give more fuck! That’s exactly what I’m going to do. Thank you so much for everything, you maniac. May we meet again,” wrote Haaland on X on Tuesday. The Norwegian has scored a hat-trick in his last two league games for Manchester City.
