Pep Guardiola provides Erling Haaland fitness update after Man City ace's pre-World Cup injury

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has provided a positive update on Erling Haaland's fitness ahead of the Carabao Cup tie with Liverpool.

City face Premier League rivals Liverpool in the Carabao Cup round of 16, with the Blues looking to go on and win the competition for the fifth time in six seasons. The Blues last won the competition during the 2020/21 campaign - defeating Tottenham Hotspur in the final.

Guardiola named a strong side for the cup clash, with Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne and Haaland among those starting against the Merseyside outfit. England duo Kyle Walker and Phil Foden have both been named on the bench, while World Cup winner Julian Alvarez is not yet back in training after Argentina's victory over France in the final.
