Manchester City will again have to do without their leading scorer Erling Haaland when they face Newcastle United in the Premier League this weekend, but Kevin De Bruyne could make his first start of the season, Pep Guardiola said yesterday.
Haaland, with 14 league goals in 15 games is joint top scorer in the Premier League alongside Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, but has missed City’s last eight games in all competitions with a foot injury.
“Jack (Grealish) has been sick, hopefully today he is back, Erling is out and John (Stones) is out. I think that is everything,” Guardiola told a press conference.
There was better news regarding De Bruyne who suffered a hamstring injury on the first day of the season against Burnley, and made his first appearance since then when coming on as a substitute in the FA Cup win over Huddersfield last weekend. – SuperSport.
