Erling Haaland feels better with his injury but Pep Guardiola does not expect Kyle Walker or Kalvin Phillips to play for Manchester City before the World Cup.
Phillips has been sidelined for the last six weeks with a shoulder problem, while Walker needed emergency groin surgery after coming off injured in the derby. The pair have been fighting to return to fitness both for their club and to give themselves the best chance possible of making the World Cup for England.
Guardiola expects both players to be available for Gareth Southgate, but does not think either will be ready for the intensity of City's two upcoming Premier League games in the next fortnight. Ultimately, it will come down to the England manager to determine if he can call on them for the Qatar tournament.
