Erling Haaland remains doubtful for Manchester City’s trip to Tottenham on Wednesday after missing Sunday’s defeat to Liverpool.
The prolific Norwegian striker failed to prove his fitness to face the Reds at the Etihad Stadium after suffering a knee injury in the champions’ Premier League win over Newcastle last weekend.
Scans have not shown any significant issues but the 24-year-old, who also sat out the midweek Champions League loss to Real Madrid, has continued to feel discomfort.
Asked about the problem after City were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool, manager Pep Guardiola said the situation was unclear.
“I don’t know,” Guardiola said. “I would like to know, but I don’t know.
“His knee – the moment against Newcastle moved the knee. Apparently he’s not injured because the scans dictate that he’s fine, but he didn’t feel fine.
“I have the feeling it (his return) will be soon because he trained yesterday and made some really good movements, but he said he was not ready and we have to respect that.
“Hopefully he can be back for Spurs.”
Haaland has scored 27 goals for City this season, but his absence was keenly felt against both Madrid and Liverpool.
The Madrid loss denied City a place in the last 16 of the Champions League for the first time since 2013 and Sunday’s reverse left them fourth in the Premier League.
