Manchester City’s Argentine striker Julian Alvarez went under the spotlight in the last press conference given by his manager Pep Guardiola ahead of the Citizen’s next game against Newcastle in St. James’ Park on the twenty-first day of the 2023/2024 Premier League season, as the 23-year-old player could have received great news on his role in the team against the Magpies.

The Argentine striker, whose importance in the team has grown since he started to cover the absence of Kevin De Bruyne in Pep Guardiola’s lineups, recently saw how his teammate replaced him in the FA Cup game against Huddersfield, which would have been compensated by new events affecting him at Manchester City.

During the last press conference given by Pep Guardiola, the Catalan manager revealed that Kevin De Bruyne could be back in the lineup to face Newcastle, but he unfortunately revealed that Erling Haaland will continue one more week on the sidelines due to a bone injury suffered in his foot that has kept him out of the pitch since 9 December.

As a consequence, it could be understood that despite the potential presence of Kevin De Bruyne in the lineup, Julian could be still performing as the team’s number nine to cover the absence of Erling Haaland in the team for one more week until the Norwegian striker is ready to return to play with his teammates.
