Manchester City take on Leicester City in the early Saturday kick-off but Erling Haaland will not be involved after picking up an injury in the Champions League last time out
Erling Haaland has not been named in the Manchester City squad to take on Leicester City this afternoon.
The Norwegian, who has scored 17 goals in 11 Premier League matches this season, picked up an injury in City’s goalless draw against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday evening and will now sit out their trip to the King Power Stadium. Pep Guardiola decided to take off Haaland at half-time in Dortmund and revealed that he has a foot injury and minor fever.
There were doubts whether Haaland would make Saturday’s game and Guardiola provided a further update on Friday afternoon, claiming they would assess the free-scoring forward after training. He said: “He feels better but we will train this afternoon and we will assess in a few hours. We will see how he feels in his foot and after we will decide. I will know in two hours if he’s able to play or not.”
But Haaland hasn’t made the squad for the game, with Guardiola choosing to go with Julian Alvarez up front. Jack Grealish has also been recalled to the starting XI, while Bernardo Silva is likely to play on the right-hand side of the front-three.
