“Erling Haaland injury: Pep Guardiola provides the most recent update on Manchester City’s situation prior to their match against Liverpool.”

Erling Haaland’s availability for the match against Liverpool on Sunday will be determined at the last minute by Manchester City. Despite the fact that Pep Guardiola downplayed the severity of the striker’s knee injury following the match, he was substituted late in the victory over Newcastle last weekend.

Nevertheless, Haaland was an unused substitute in midweek as City was eliminated from the Champions League following a loss to Real Madrid. His availability for Liverpool’s upcoming match at the Etihad Stadium is uncertain.

Guardiola stated at his pre-match press conference on Friday that he was uncertain as to whether Haaland would be able to face the Reds. Tomorrow, we will be informed; however, I am uncertain. This season, the 30-year-old has only appeared in six Premier League matches and has recently encountered another setback.

He was substituted after only eight minutes of play at the Bernabeu on Wednesday night. As was the case with Manuel Akanji last week, stones may now necessitate surgery. Akanji is anticipated to be absent for a period of up to ten weeks following surgery to address a quadriceps injury.

described Stones as “a difficult one” due to his injury. “We will determine whether or not he requires surgery in the coming hours or days.” Guardiola also expressed his belief that Stones will be absent for an extended period of time, stating, “Yes, similar to Manu Akanji.” Guardiola’s team is currently focused on achieving a top-four result, as they are significantly behind the leaders in the title race and have been eliminated from the Champions League.
