Pep Guardiola stated that Manchester City is more formidable with Erling Haaland, despite uncertainty about his availability for the upcoming match against Liverpool due to a knee injury. Haaland, who scored 19 league goals this season, was sidelined during the Champions League defeat to Real Madrid. Guardiola also expressed concerns about player fatigue, highlighting that several squad members may struggle with the rigorous match schedule moving forward, indicating possible future changes in the team dynamics.
"It is better to have Erling on the pitch than not have him, obviously. With Erling, we are in the position we are right now."
"We have to sit down with the doctors, with physios, with the players, with the agents, and be clear that some of them cannot sustain every three days, every month, every two months, playing every three, four days."
