ERLING HAALAND rang in the New Year with his girlfriend and Anthony Joshua at a magnificent party in Dubai.
Pep Guardiola’s team, which won the Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia before Christmas, concluded the year with a 2-0 victory over Sheffield United.
However, Haaland has not played since the beginning of the month due to a foot injury.
And he looks to have been enjoying his time off, as he spent the new year in Dubai with his partner Isabel Haugseng.
The 23-year-old was also left out of the matchday squad that defeated Manchester City 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Guardiola told Amazon Prime, “He’s still not with the team.” He’s more comfortable with his bone [in his foot], but he hasn’t had a single training session with us.
“Unfortunately, December is so jam-packed with games.” January is a little less crowded.
“Hopefully, in January, he can come back with us.”
Haaland went off to Dubai to ring in the new year with a lavish celebration.
Pretty Little Thing owner Umar Kamani hosted the event, which also included boxers Joshua and Derek Chisora.
Haaland previously visited Kamani’s villa in Dubai during the Qatar World Cup last year.
Joshua, 34, is currently in the Middle East following his most recent boxing battle, which he won over Sweden’s Otto Wallin, 32.
He had agreed to face Deontay Wilder, 38, next, but the American sabotaged those plans by losing to Joseph Parker, 31, in Saudi Arabia.
