Guardiola Sets A Requirement For Haaland To Play Against Liverpool In The EPL.
Erling Haaland will only play against Liverpool on Saturday, according to Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, provided he passes a last-minute fitness test.
Haaland has already scored 28 goals for City in 26 games.
The Norwegian striker, though, was unable to participate in the international break because of groin pain.
Haaland wasn’t seen at practice on Thursday, which raised the possibility that he might miss Liverpool’s visit.
Haaland, though, will be evaluated following City’s final practice on Friday afternoon, according to Guardiola.
We will find out this afternoon. We will assess his condition after today’s final training session at 4 p.m., Guardiola said during a press conference on Friday.
We’ll see today, he added. Again, the doctors — and particularly the player — will make the call.
