Pep Guardiola details Erling Haaland plan after leaving out summer signing in latest outing

Pep Guardiola insists he will unleash Erling Haaland on Bayern Munich on Saturday.

The Manchester City boss admitted that the champions’ new £51million striker has been carrying some fitness problems since arriving at the Etihad and he was left out of Wednesday night’s 2-1 victory over Club America in Texas.
