Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has issued a rallying cry to his teammates this week.

The Norway forward is back in action and scored in a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

Haaland stated after the game that he is back and fully fit for the rest of the season.

Haaland said: “It doesn't matter who scores – the most important thing is to win. I came on and tried to finish the game and that's exactly what I did.

“It's nice – exactly like last season. This is the maybe the most exciting time to be a footballer. There's not many who can relate but this is why I play football – the feeling before the game, you're a bit nervous. This is fantastic and it's why I love football because of these feelings.

“So many of these guys have done it before and it's about keeping the head calm and not wanting too much. We relax, smile and enjoy our time then we focus on the next game."
