Pep confirms Haaland to miss Belgrade game

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola confirmed that Erling Haaland will miss Wednesday’s Champions League clash against Red Star Belgrade but added that he expects him to be back in training on Thursday.

Haaland, who is Man City’s top scorer with 19 goals in all competitions this season, missed the defending Premier League champions’ win over Luton Town on Sunday with a foot injury. It was the first league game he had failed to start this season.
