Erling Haaland's participation against Liverpool has not yet been decided, but Pep Guardiola is sure that Manchester City can score without him.
Pep Guardiola stated that a final determination regarding Erling Haaland's fitness for this weekend would be made later on Friday. Erling Haaland is still recovering from a groin injury.
Haaland has had an incredible first season with Manchester City, tallying 42 goals in all competitions, easily the highest of any player in the top five leagues in Europe.
But an injury that prevented the attacker from teaming up with Norway halted his progress before the international break.
Guardiola was eager to take his time with that decision, but City is hopeful that Haaland will be back for their crucial match against Liverpool on Saturday.
The management reported that Erling was improving. "We shall evaluate how he feels after the final training session," was the statement.
Guardiola was questioned if he would risk Haaland if he wasn't confident that he was totally fit, adding that Phil Foden would be out for "two or three weeks" after having his appendix removed.
The City manager is sure that his team would function without his star striker, but he was glad to trust the 22-year-judgment. old's
Haaland has scored 28 goals in the Premier League this season, accounting for 42% of City's total and 20 points. For a City player in a single season, all three are impressive results.
Guardiola stated that "the doctors and primarily the players will decide." "What's his mood like? I spoke with him yesterday, and he seemed happy. So we'll have to wait and see what transpires.
"We have scored many goals this season, and he has scored a remarkable number of goals, but we have also scored many goals in the past.
"Man City has consistently been a side that scored a lot of goals in the season while we have been here, with Roberto Mancini and [Manuel] Pellegrini.
They scored a lot of goals, so we'll aim to do the same thing till the end of the season.
