Manchester City star Einin Chalant has been awarded the Norwegian Ballon d'Or, the highest honor in Norwegian soccer, after winning the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) Player of the Year 2023. This is the fourth consecutive year that the talented 23-year-old goal scorer has won this award.
Charlatan took to social media to take a picture with the trophy and posted the sentiment, "I'm incredibly honored to win this award again." The netizens were all over the place, agreeing that the 2024 Ballon d'Or is not Chalainte's to win. However, since he was injured in the Premier League against Aston Villa early last month, Xalanthe has been sidelined and missed the World Championships, and it is a matter of concern as to when he will be able to return to the field of play.
Xherant is expected to return to action in the Premier League away to Newcastle United in the early hours of January 14, according to City's latest official injury report. However, he will still be unavailable for Sunday night's (7) home game against Hattersfield in the English FA Cup.
