""He [Haaland] had a niggle," Guardiola told TNT Sports. "Never doubt about the top scorers. The season is so long.""
""I didn't speak with the doctors. I don't know exactly what he has. It's just a disturbance, fatigue, or something - I don't know. He said, 'I don't feel comfortable', at 3-0, with a lot of games he's had, having Omar [Marmoush], so out! Common sense, right?""
""It was not easy after incredible emotions when you play an emotional game like Liverpool," said Guardiola to TNT. "It was a really, really good performance. So happy with the guys. The team in certain moments is growing, people are coming back. It is really, really important.""
Erling Haaland was withdrawn before the second half of Manchester City's 3-0 win over Fulham because of a niggle, with Omar Marmoush replacing him as a precaution. Haaland had scored City's third with a superb finish after Fulham had taken the lead. Manchester City moved within three points of Premier League leaders Arsenal. Haaland looks unlikely to be in the squad for the upcoming FA Cup tie against Salford City as the club prioritises protection against a more severe injury. Guardiola described the issue as a disturbance or fatigue and praised the team's recovery after the Liverpool game.
