Man City handed Erling Haaland fitness boost vs Southampton

Pep Guardiola confirmed that Erling Haaland will be fit to face Southampton on Saturday.

Manchester City had to do without their star striker last weekend against Liverpool after Haaland suffered a groin injury before the international break. He initially linked up with the Norway squad but had to withdraw and while the injury was not too serious it was enough for him to miss the first Premier League game back.

City were given three days off after beating Liverpool 4-1 and when they returned Haaland was able to train. The Norwegian has worked well enough this week for Guardiola to rule him fit for the weekend before they head down.
