Guardiola’s side are still fighting for trophies on four fronts in the business phase of the season and will compete with Arsenal for the Premier League title.
City go into this weekend’s game five points behind the Gunners, who have lifted the Blues back into title contention after a poor showing from Mikel Arteta’s side in February.
Ahead of Saturday’s 17:30 kick-off between Leeds United and Manchester City in England, FPL Maine Road on X reported that Haaland was not in the squad at Elland Road.
Jan Aage Fjørtoft further revealed on Viaplay Football that the 25-year-old striker suffered a minor injury in training in the days leading up to Saturday’s game.
