Manchester City manage Pep Guardiola said he is unsure if Erling Haaland will miss this weekend’s match at Leicester. The Norwegian was substituted with injury against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old was replaced by Sergio Aguero as City failed to find a way past the Bundesliga side.
Haaland was replaced by Sergio Aguero at half-time after picking up a knock in City’s 0-0 Champions League draw away against Dortmund. City failed to find a way past the Bundesliga side. Guardiola said “we’ll see” when asked about Haaland’s fitness.
“Today we were pretty exhausted,” Guardiola said. “Erling Haaland took a knock, but he was running normally again just now.
“We’ll see how that turns out.”
In Haaland’s absence, Riyad Mahrez stepped up to take a second-half penalty, but his shot was saved by goalkeeper Gregor Kobel. This helped Dortmund into the knockout rounds.
For Saturday’s early Premier League matchup, City, the group G champions who advance to the round of 16, travels to Leicester.
Haaland joined City from Dortmund in the summer and has already scored 17 goals in 11 league games.
