The Norway international striker picked up an injury in the Citizen's 0-0 draw with his former side Borussia Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday and was taken off at half-time in the Champions League clash.

"He is better. Training this afternoon. We will assess in a few hours," Guardiola told the press on Friday, suggesting he could risk fielding Haaland against the Foxes. The City boss stressed he has a good back-up option in Julian Alvarez should he be forced to leave the Norwegian out of the action. "Normally if Erling Haaland is not ready then Julian is the first option, of course. Of course, we are going to play him, definitely," he added. "He can play as a false nine but I don't think this is going to happen, I think Julian can drop and is good at dropping and playing so I think if Erling is not able - not tomorrow, but in the future - Julian is the first option." Do you expect Erling Haaland to feature for Man City this weekend?

"But since day one we have been very impressed by many, many things about him. Many, many things about him){kind=link}
