JAKARTA - Manchester City will host FC Copenhagen in the third match of the Group G Champions League phase, Thursday 6 October. The Citizen is likely to rest their mainstay player, Erling Haaland.
Manchester City is faced with a complicated situation related to player injuries. This situation became the basis for Pep Guardiola's manager to rotate the players, one of which was Haaland.
Guardiola is believed to be resting Haaland considering the match against Copenhagen is not too heavy. The Spaniard will give other players the opportunity to start up in front.
If you force Haaland to play in this match, you are afraid that the former Dortmund will suffer an injury due to fatigue. The reason is, he has always been a mainstay in the previous few matches.
Most recently, Haaland showed a brilliant performance when the team won 6-3 from Manchester United. In the Manchester derby match, Haaland worked hard to support the team and scored a hatrick.
Julian Alvarez may fill the position of Haaland if it is true that he will be rested. Another possibility is to place Phil Foden or Riyad Mahrez.
Meanwhile, players who have been confirmed to be absent from defending City in the match will be Rodri, John Stones, Kalvin Phillips, and Kyle Walker. All reported problems with injuries.
