Pep Guardiola has warned Erling Haaland to keep himself in peak condition during his World Cup break.

Norway’s failure to qualify for the tournament means Manchester City goal machine Haaland will have a month off while most of his team-mates are competing in Qatar. Guardiola hailed Haaland’s professionalism but joked the prolific striker – who has 22 goals in 14 games for City – must not let himself go during his enforced mid-season break.

“He will be in Marbella or Norway,” said Guardiola. “How perfect he is when he returns will depend on how he behaves in Marbella. He has a house there.

“He will play golf and hopefully not eat much and drink much! It’s the first time in our lives it will happen [a winter World Cup], so we don’t know how the players will come back.

“If they are champions, the players will be really positive, or the guys knocked out might have more holidays. This incredible schedule, you’ve seen how many players will miss the World Cup because of this insane calendar. People are used to it.

“Some will need less time, some more time, but they will settle. They will adapt. We’ll see how they feel, we’ll smell it. We’ll adapt to our routine to play again.”
