JAKARTA - Manchester City still rests Erling Haaland in the Champions League match against Sevilla, Thursday, November 3 in the morning WIB. Man City manager Pep Guardiola said Haaland could only make a comeback this weekend.
Haaland has been absent from The Citizens since last weekend when his team won 1-0 against Leicester City. Previously, the Norwegian had to rest since being pulled out in the match against Borussia Dortmund.
Haaland was pulled out after a collision with an opposing player. He was also reported to have had a fever before the match.
Currently, the condition of the player from Norwgia has improved. However, Guardiola will not rush to field Haaland in the match against Sevilla.
"Erling (Haaland) will not be able to play tomorrow (Sevilla counter). He already feels better than last Saturday and Sunday, but not 100 percent," Guardiola was quoted as saying by the BBC on Wednesday, November 2.
"We don't want to take risks, it doesn't make sense. Hopefully he can come back for the match against Fulham ( Saturday)," he added.
Guardiola is not too worried about the absence of Haaland who spearheaded his team. The reason is, the match against Sevilla in Matchday 6 of the Champions League will have no effect.
The Citizens have been confirmed to have qualified for the knockout stages and won Group G.
