Pep Guardiola says Manchester City will take a decision on Friday as to whether Erling Haaland can play against Fulham and how much he can play.
Haaland has not played for over a week after suffering a bruised ligament in his foot in the 0-0 draw with Dortmund, sitting out the Premier League win at Leicester and the Champions League victory over Sevilla. The Norwegian returned to training on Thursday ahead of Saturday's match with Fulham, and suffered no setback.
City train again on Friday afternoon, where the player will be monitored and asked for his opinion of his condition in addition to the advice of the medical staff before a decision is taken on the plan for Saturday.

"He's much better. We will decide today. It is a good step to start training. now we have training this afternoon and we will see," he said..
"If he is good for 90 minutes or less minutes, we will see after training."
Should Haaland be unable to feature, Guardiola will have no issue starting Julian Alvarez again for the third time in a week. Alvarez led the line at Leicester but was starved of any space, before finding more in the second half against Sevilla to pick up a goal and two assists.
