According to Man City manager Pep Guardiola, Erling Haaland informed him that he was not healthy enough to play against Real Madrid.
After suffering a knock against Newcastle, Haaland was not deployed as a substitute when Real Madrid eliminated City from the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Haaland’s fitness will undoubtedly be a focus in the days ahead as City hosts title-chasing Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.
“Erling yesterday tried to train after the last action against Newcastle. With the images we have done it was fine, but he had discomfort walking, for example up the stairs,” said Guardiola.
“We spoke and he said he wasn’t ready, he didn’t feel good.”
