Pep Guardiola has kept Salford City in suspense regarding Erling Haaland’s participation in Manchester City’s FA Cup clash. The prolific Norwegian striker, who has clocked more minutes than any other City player this season, might sit out the third-round encounter against the League Two side.
With Haaland boasting an impressive 21 goals in 2,386 minutes on the pitch this season, Guardiola is weighing up his options for the fixture. While the City boss has hinted at potential squad rotations, he has yet to confirm if Haaland will be given a break.
“You’ll find out tomorrow,” Guardiola remarked during a press conference. “But he’s in good shape. He’s had some minor issues, but the seven days between West Ham and Salford have given him time to recover. With the challenges we’re facing, it’s vital to have everyone fit and available.”
