MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester City forward Erling Haaland is a doubt for Saturday's home game against Liverpool in the Premier League but may be risked, manager Pep Guardiola said, as his side maintain their chase of leaders Arsenal.
Haaland, who joined City this season from Borussia Dortmund, has scored 42 goals in 37 matches in all competitions, but suffered a groin injury against Burnley on March 18, and pulled out of Norway's squad for their Euro 2024 qualifiers.
" I spoke with him, he feels good. But we'll see. Life is risks. At this stage, we'll have to take it." City, already without forward Phil Foden for up to three weeks after having his appendix removed, will also be hoping Haaland can play a key role in their Champions League quarter-final tie against Bayern Munich, with the first leg at the Etihad on April 11."We have scored a lot of goals this season and he has scored an incredible amount of goals," he said."But we've always scored a lot of goals since we've been here.
