Haaland is fit for Southampton trip, says Guardiola | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola says Erling Haaland is in contention to start against Southampton on Saturday.

We travel to the south coast for a 15:00 (UK) kick-off, with our hosts already relegated to the Championship for next season.

Victory at the St Mary's Stadium will leave us in the driving seat for a Champions League qualification spot with just two league games remaining.

An ankle injury has meant Haaland hasn’t featured since the FA Cup quarter-final victory over Bournemouth at the end of March, but Guardiola says his Norwegian striker is available for selection again.

“He’s ready. He’s fit. Start? We decide tomorrow,” the boss confirmed in Friday’s press conference.

The boss was also asked about the fitness of long-term absentees Nathan Ake, Oscar Bobb and Rodri but was adamant they will not feature this weekend.

“Still not available,” he began.

“They’ve started training with us partially but they’re still not available.”
