Pep Guardiola issues Erling Haaland injury update ahead of Man City vs Young Boys
06.11.2023 - 13:41 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Erling Haaland 'feels better' after his injury at the weekend, and will be assessed ahead of Manchester City's Champions League clash against Young Boys.
City can secure qualification to the knockout stages with two games to spare, but may have to do that without Haaland who was substituted at half time of the weekend's win over Bournemouth after feeling a twist in his ankle.
Guardiola wouldn't give much away in terms of Haaland's fitness, saying he would go off the club doctor's prognosis, but added that Haaland feels well and will be in contention if he is given the green light.

"We train this afternoon so I don't know," said Guardiola. "Yesterday he told me he feels much better than on the day of the game but I don't know [if he will train].
"I will listen to the doctors. If he says he is ready and does not have pain I will consider him to play. Because Tuesday to Sunday there's a lot [of time to recover], it is not Wednesday. Right now if Erling can't play, Julian [Alvarez] will play there.
"Julian is quite good! I like him arriving as a striker and he can play both so we're really pleased."
