Is Erling Haaland fit to start for Man City? Injury news latest and FPL update

The recent injury to Erling Haaland has left the majority of the Fantasy Football community scratching their heads as to whether or not to retain the Premier League top scorer in their FPL team.

The Manchester City frontman suffered a knock against former side Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League last week which led to his withdrawal at half-time. This led to the 22-year-old being given a 75% chance of playing against Leicester last weekend by FPL before not playing any part in the match.

This week, City host Sevilla in the Champions League before they face Fulham at the Etihad at the weekend in what would normally be regarded as a potentially fruitful fixture for the striker who has bagged a remarkable 17 goals so far in eleven Premier League fixtures.
