Liverpool’s Nunez and Szoboszlai react to Erling Haaland post amid Man City absence
Liverpool duo Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai have both reacted after Man City striker Erling Haaland provided an update amid his absence through injury.
The Norway international has not made an appearance since being forced off during the FA Cup quarter final win at Bournemouth late last month.
Haaland is expected to miss several weeks for Man City due to that injury, and his absence will inevitably be a major blow for Pep Guardiola and his side.
Despite that the striker still appears to be in high spirits as he continues his recovery away from the pitch, catching the interest of some rather noteworthy rivals.
Erling Haaland sends update amid injury frustration
While he is not currently available to play for Man City, Haaland is seemingly still keeping himself busy as he works to build up his fitness.
On Tuesday (8 April), the 24-year-old took to his Instagram page, where he posted a picture of himself holding a skateboard.
He then jokingly added a caption in which he claimed he felt like Tony Hawk, while tagging the skateboarding legend.

While Liverpool have been title challengers to Man City in recent years, and look set to beat Guardiola’s side this time round to that prize, two members of the Reds squad were keen to show their support.
Both Szoboszlai and Nunez, who have been regular features for Arne Slot’s side so far this season, were among those to like that post from Haaland.

Football Insider Verdict
While most silverware is now out of reach for Guardiola and his team this season, there is still plenty for them to play for.
Nottingham Forest fans know it is a major boost Haaland is likely to be absent for Man City when the two sides meet in the FA Cup semi final at Wembley later this month.
Of course, the Citizens will want to end this season on a high after so much disappointment, which they could do be winning that trophy.
They will also have the Club World Cup to come after that, and bringing Haaland back into the fold for those matches if possible will help lift their chances of getting back on track in the hunt for silverware.
With Kevin De Bruyne set to leave Man City in the summer, they are also going to want to give the Belgian, and potentially other departing figures, a fitting send off with a final trophy.
As a result, getting Haaland back to try and help them achieve such success is no doubt going to be a major aim for the club off the field in the coming weeks.
