Man City manager Pep Guardiola confirms Erling Haaland has ligament injury

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that a ligament injury is the reason behind Erling Haaland missing Manchester City's Premier League match against Leicester.

Haaland has enjoyed a remarkable start to his Premier League career, scoring 17 goals in just 11 appearances. However, he'll have to wait until next weekend to add to that tally after being left out of City's squad for their trip to the King Power Stadium.

The striker was withdrawn at half-time during City's goalless draw with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday, with Guardiola revealing that he had been suffering from a slight fever and a foot complaint.
