Man City manager Pep Guardiola says Erling Haaland is “not 100%” fit at the moment.

The Norwegian international came off at halftime against Fulham, and speaking about the striker, Guardiola said:

“He’s not 100 per cent, but we’ll see today how he feels. It’s not a big issue, the doctor said to me. But had some disturbance before and during the game, and we will see his evolution.”

There is no chance that Haaland will be risked against Salford City in the FA Cup this weekend.

John Stones

The centre-back was back on the substitutes bench against Fulham, but he did not take to the field.

Asked whether Stones would make his first appearance since early December when City face Salford City, Guardiola replied:

“We will see tomorrow if he plays or how many minutes he plays.”

That does suggest Stones will be involved in some capacity, either from the start or as a sub.
