“I spoke with the doctor and him,” Guardiola said of Haaland. “Yesterday he said he felt much better, but I don’t know.”
The striker was substitued at half-time in Manchester City’s 6-1 win over Bournemouth after twisting his ankle. Guardiola revealed, however, that the decision for Haaland to be taken off was rather a precaution than a serious concern.
It is still unknown whether Haaland will play against Young Boys in the Champions League.
“If he says, ‘I am ready, I don’t have pain,’ I will consider him to play,” Guardiola said.
Man City need a win to qualify for the last 16 and they would like to secure it as quickly as possibly in order to focus on matches in the Premier League.
