Pep Guardiola willing to risk Erling Haaland fitness with late Man City vs Liverpool FC selection call

Pep Guardiola is not making plans for Manchester City to be without Erling Haaland just yet after admitting he would be willing to take a risk with the striker's fitness.

Haaland is a major doubt after picking up a groin injury before international duty, and he has not trained this week as he is 'recovering' with City medical staff. Guardiola said Haaland would be assessed on Friday, and a late call would be made on his availability to face Liverpool - hinting that he would take risks at this stage of the season when it came to Haaland's fitness.

And Guardiola also revealed that there were no plans being made for Haaland to miss the game, insisting that whoever he picks to face Liverpool will bring their own qualities to the starting lineup.
