Haaland latest
Guardiola played down concerns over an injury to Haaland after the City striker was taken off halfway through their Premier League win over Fulham.
Haaland scored City's third shortly before the break but did not reappear for the second half, with Omar Marmoush coming on in his place at the interval.
Haaland had been taken out in the build-up to the second goal but played on before he was taken off and told the coaching staff that he didn't feel right.
