Manchester City star Erling Haaland is facing a race against time to be declared fit for the huge Premier League title clash against Arsenal on Wednesday. The golden boot leader was taken off at half-time of City's 3-1 win against Aston Villa on Sunday with a suspected thigh problem.
"Right now I don’t know," Guardiola said when asked if the Norwegian international will play against the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium. "We will have to see over the next few days."
City have the squad depth to deal with Haaland's absence but he would still prove to be a huge loss for Guardiola given his insane goal record this term. Arsenal are hoping to extend their lead at the top of the table with a win on Wednesday and if the 22-year-old is absent for the reigning champions, it would come as a major boost for Mikel Arteta's side.
