Fulham boss Marco Silva insists his side are preparing to stop Erling Haaland this weekend when they face Manchester City - despite the fact the striker is a major injury doubt for the game.
Haaland has missed City's last two games with a bruised ligament in his foot, picked up in the first half of the Champions League draw at Borussia Dortmund. In his place, Julian Alvarez has started three games in a row, but Silva insists that Fulham are expecting Haaland to start against them instead.
Pep Guardiola said on Tuesday that Haaland would miss the Champions League dead-rubber against Sevilla in order to prioritise a return for Fulham, and he didn't train that day. He watched the 3-1 win over Sevilla from the stands at the Etihad.
