 and see how they feel.' However, this does not include Kalvin Phillips and Kyle Walker who remain out of contention. Speaking after the draw in Germany, Guardiola said of Haaland: 'Three things: I saw him so tired,' explained the City boss. 'The second one he had a bit of a fever, like Joao [Cancelo]. The third, he had a knock in his feet. That is why he wasn't able to play in the second half.'

Pep Guardiola could not confirm whether Erling Haaland would be fit for Manchester City’s clash with Leicester on Saturday afternoon, when speaking at a press conference on Friday.
The Norwegian was substituted at half-time during the goalless draw with Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, due to a hat-trick of issues: tiredness, a fever and a foot problem.
Guardiola says that things have improved for the striker and he is training, but it is not clear whether he will face the Foxes in the 12.30pm kick-off at the King Power.
‘He feels better but we will train this afternoon and we will assess in a few hours,’ said the Spaniard. ‘We will see how he is feeling and then we will decide.’
On other injury concerns, including Joao Cancelo, he added: ‘Everyone had trained well. I have to wait until they come back (this afternoon) and see how they feel.’
