Manchester City is yet to make a final decision on Erling Haaland’s availability for Sunday’s crucial match against Liverpool. The striker, who limped off during City’s win over Newcastle last weekend, raised concerns about a possible knee injury. However, manager Pep Guardiola downplayed the issue after the match.
Despite Guardiola’s reassurances, Haaland was not included in the squad during City’s midweek Champions League loss to Real Madrid, fueling doubts about his fitness for the upcoming Premier League game against Liverpool at the Etihad.
In his pre-match press conference on Friday, Guardiola confirmed that Haaland’s involvement is still uncertain, saying, “We will find out tomorrow. I don’t know yet.” He acknowledged Haaland’s importance, noting that City is undeniably stronger with the Norwegian striker on the field.
While Haaland’s condition remains hopeful, Guardiola gave a more concerning update on defender John Stones, who is set to miss more time due to injury. As City gears up for this pivotal league fixture, all eyes are on Haaland’s fitness for the showdown with Liverpool.
