Guardiola provides Haaland update

Speaking at his press conference on Friday, City boss Pep Guardiola said he does not expect Haaland to play against Palace as he continues to struggle with a foot injury.

Guardiola admitted that the 23-year-old has been receiving treatment for the issue.

“He’s been having treatment away,” said Guardiola. “He arrived today and we’ll see; the doctors will see him.

“Hopefully he can travel to Saudi after the game and after we’ll see if he’s able to play the first game or second.”

Unlikely to feature against Palace

When asked if Haaland would play against Palace, the Catalan coach continued: “I don’t think so.”

It was then put to Guardiola if he was worried about the Norwegian’s injury. “No, it’s not structure, it’s just stress. Day by day, week by week, we have to see how he feels,” he added.
