Erling Haaland’s availability for Manchester City’s crucial match against Liverpool this weekend is uncertain after he missed Thursday’s training session.
The Norwegian striker is still recovering from a groin injury he sustained during City’s FA Cup victory over Burnley, which forced him to withdraw from international duty with Norway. Haaland’s father revealed that the player had undergone tests at a hospital in Barcelona, but it remains to be seen if he will be fit for the Liverpool game.
Similarly, Phil Foden was absent from training following surgery to remove his appendix, while goalkeeper Ederson has resumed training after being sidelined by illness during the international break.
With only two days until the Liverpool match, City will be hoping to narrow the eight-point gap with league leaders Arsenal. Pep Guardiola is expected to provide an update on Haaland and Foden’s fitness during Friday’s press conference.
