Haaland missed last weekend’s win over Leicester City as well as the subsequent Champions League victory over Sevilla in midweek and was deemed only fit enough to start on the bench against the Cottagers.
Explaining his decision, Guardiola said: ‘He is feeling better he could play but he is not in perfect situation but he is on the bench just in case we need him.
