One player has carried a heavy workload for Manchester City this season but the work isn’t over | OneFootball

One player who has carried a heavy workload for Manchester City this season is Erling Haaland. The Norwegian international has carried City’s goal-scoring burden and also carried a heavy workload in terms of minutes played for his team this season. But the work isn’t done for Haaland this season. He does shape as being Manchester City’s most important player in their chase for Champions League football and silverware to close the 24/25 season.

Sam Lee has reported for the Athletic that Erling Haaland has played the most minutes for Manchester City in the Premier League this season. Haaland has been ever-present in Pep Guardiola’s starting lineup in the Premier League. In total, he has played 2483 minutes in the competition. When you look at how many minutes Haaland has played in all competitions, that further illustrates how reliant City are on their star striker. As per transfermarkt.com Haaland has played 3377 minutes this season. The only competition Haaland didn’t feature in this season was the Carabao Cup. He was an unused substitute in Manchester City’s 2-1 loss to Tottenham in the fourth round of the competition at the end of October.

Erling Haaland still has a heavy burden to carry for his team this season.

It is a credit to Erling Haaland and Manchester City’s fitness staff that he has played so often this season. Haaland has only missed two games due to injury this season. He has also been rested on several other occasions. 29 goals and 4 assists in 39 appearances is what the Norwegian international has contributed to his team this season. But despite carrying a heavy workload the work isn’t done for Haaland and his team.

Erling Haaland could potentially be Manchester City’s most important player during their final push of the 24/25 season. If the chances are provided for him his ability to convert them could fire Pep Guardiola’s side to the Champions League and help them progress in the FA Cup. That’s the challenge in front of Haaland and his team. He will have to fulfil that goal on heavy legs. If he fires you’d expect Pep Guardiola’s side to qualify for next season’s Champions League. From a Manchester City point of view, the hope is that he can fire to close the season.

Erling Haaland has gotten through a power of work for his club and country this season. But there remains more to complete . The Norwegian international has carried a heavy load for his team to date. There is still work to do before Haaland can get a semblance of rest at the end of the season.
