Manchester City face an anxious wait to determine Erling Haaland’s availability for Thursday’s crucial clash against Brighton. The Norwegian striker was substituted off due to fatigue in the Champions League match against Real Madrid and subsequently missed the FA Cup semi-final victory over Chelsea. Pep Guardiola has expressed concerns about Haaland and Phil Foden, who both sat out training on Tuesday. However, John Stones has resumed training, providing some relief to the City manager. Ahead of the Brighton match, City face a pair of challenging away fixtures in their pursuit of the Premier League title. Rotation is, therefore, a possibility for Guardiola, with Ederson, Josko Gvardiol, Mateo Kovacic, and Jeremy Doku potential candidates to enter the starting lineup. Guardiola is expected to provide an update on Haaland’s fitness in the pre-match press conference later this week. The match against Brighton is scheduled for Thursday, April 25, 2024, at 8 pm BST at the Etihad Stadium and will be televised on Sky Sports.
