Pep Guardiola has made an unexpected trip to Oslo for the start of the international break, with Manchester City striker Erling Haaland also in the Norwegian capital.
The Manchester City boss declared 'pre-season' over after beginning the season with three wins from three in the Premier League plus a Community Shield win over Manchester United. Guardiola had previously warned City would start the season slowly as players returned from their holidays - hence the 'pre-season' comment about getting his squad as fit as possible.
The library manager confirmed Guardiola's visit was made in a personal capacity and not pre-planned. The reason for Guardiola's visit has not been confirmed, but he did comment on Haaland's fitness and his long trip to eastern Europe this week. “Now he’s going to go to Kazakhstan to play in the Nations League with Norway. It’s 10 hours flying, 10 hours to come back. This kind of stuff can accumulate, that’s why you have to be careful, but so far it’s really good.”
