Erling Haaland has given Manchester City fans a boost ahead of their Saturday clash with Liverpool. The 23-year-old, who had suffered an ankle injury during the international break with Norway, has confirmed that he will be fit to play.
Pep Guardiola had revealed on Friday that the striker had trained 'with some niggles' and was going to assess him later that day before making a decision. However, Haaland appears to have emerged unscathed as he posted a picture on social media with the ball at his feet alongside the caption: 'See you tomorrow'.
City is due to host Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium in Saturday's 12:30pm kick-off. City currently sits at the top of the Premier League with 28 points from 12 games, while Liverpool is a point behind in second place. Both teams have registered three wins and a draw in their last four Premier League games.
Guardiola was full of praise for Liverpool ahead of the match. He said: "We have a lot of space in behind and they have incredible runs with [Luis] Diaz, with Darwin Nunez, with [Mohamed] Salah of course, and now with [Dominik] Szoboszlai and [Ryan] Gravenberch. For them [it's] good because of the transitions. They are a fantastic team, fantastic legs. A top side, no doubt."
All eyes will be on Erling Haaland to see if he can make an impact against the Reds. With his confirmation that he is fit, Manchester City will be hoping for a positive result come Saturday.
