The Norway international was an unused substitute against Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday, having been forced off late in the previous game against Newcastle.

Pep Guardiola admits that he does not know when Erling Haaland will be available again, but hopes that he will play on Wednesday when Manchester City travel to take on Tottenham Hotspur. The Norwegian sat on the bench last week as City were beaten 3-1 at Real Madrid and then was not involved in the squad at all on Sunday as they lost 2-0 at home to Liverpool.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expects Erling Haaland to be back ‘soon’ after missing the 2-0 loss against Liverpool due to an injury, potentially as early as on Wednesday against Tottenham Hotspur.
