    But Haaland has not featured since the start of the month after picking up a foot injury.
    And he appears to have been enjoying his time off as he took a trip to Dubai for the new year with his partner Isabel Haugseng.
    The 23-year-old was also not involved in the matchday squad that won 2-0 at the Etihad on Saturday.
    Guardiola told Amazon Prime: “Still, he’s not with the team. He feels better with his bone [in his foot] but he hasn’t had one training session with us.

    “Unfortunately, December is so congested with so many games. January is a bit less congested.
    “Hopefully, in January, he can come back with us.”
    Haaland jetted out to Dubai to celebrate the start of the year and did so at a plush party.
    It was hosted by Pretty Little Thing owner Umar Kamani with boxers Joshua and Derek Chisora also in the house.
