Manchester City will face Liverpool without star striker Erling Haaland, who has been left out of the squad for Sunday’s crucial Premier League clash.
The Norwegian forward picked up a knee injury during City’s dominant 4-0 victory over Newcastle United last weekend, forcing him to limp off late in the game.
Despite traveling with the team for their midweek Champions League match in Spain, Haaland was an unused substitute as City were eliminated from the competition.
Now, in a surprising move, Haaland is not even on the bench for today’s highly anticipated showdown at Anfield. Instead, Pep Guardiola has turned to Omar Marmoush to spearhead City’s attack.
With City aiming to keep pace in the Premier League title race, Haaland’s absence could prove a major setback.
Guardiola and the club’s medical team will be closely monitoring his recovery as they navigate a critical period in the season.
