The Spanish tactician stated this while also confirming that Haaland will be out for seven weeks after sustaining an injury.

“Sometimes we are used to this in this country,” says Pep Guardiola about the injury to Erling Haaland. “It has happened all season.”
Guardiola says he has been told “five, six, seven weeks” by the medical staff.
“Sometimes there are years when these kinds of things happen. It happened all season. I would say that it could have been different if it was the end of the season (before the Club World Cup). So with all the injuries we have had this season, I’m so sorry for them and for Erling as well. So (I wish him) a good recovery, as speedy as possible, then come back.”
