Guardiola uncertain Haaland will play
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, the Spaniard said his talented striker is still not perfect due to ligament damage.

"He is still not perfect," Guardiola said at Tuesday's pre-match press conference. "We'll see tomorrow [Wednesday] and on Saturday [against Brentford]. He is getting better.
"What's important is the bone isn't broken so there's no damage, just the ligament is damaged a bit. It's not perfect right now, but in one week or 10 days anything can happen."

His goal against Fulham at the weekend took his tally for the season to an incredible 23 goals in just 17 appearances.
