Pep Guardiola has addressed the fitness of prolific striker Erling Haaland ahead of Manchester City’s upcoming visit to Nottingham Forest.
The Premier League champions visit Arsenal for a huge top-of-the-table clash on Wednesday before travelling to Trentside on Saturday afternoon. It will be a tight turnaround for Guardiola’s side, who have a number of fitness concerns affecting key players.
One of those revolves around 25-goal leading scorer Haaland, who was withdrawn at half-time during City’s 3-1 win over Aston Villa on Sunday. The Norwegian received a few knocks during the game and, at one stage, needed treatment following a collision with Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez.
