Erling was replaced before extra time as the Sky Blues were eliminated after a shootout, and the striker has not trained since.

Pep shared that Haaland will not be on the pitch vs. the Seagulls at the Amex Stadium tomorrow despite believing that the problem is not serious. Phil Foden and John Stones are available for selection.

“Haaland is not ready for tomorrow’s match,” the Man City manager shared with the media. “It’s not a big problem but he is not ready to play in the upcoming clash.”

Guardiola’s side is 4 points behind leaders Arsenal, who defeat Chelsea 5-0 yesterday, but the Sky Blues are with 2 matches in hand.
