📣 Guardiola on Haaland and Foden fitness ahead of Liverpool clash | OneFootball

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola spoke to reporters on Friday ahead of his side’s Premier League clash with Liverpool.

Here is what he had to say.

On Haaland and Foden fitness

“Phil had the [appendicitis] surgery, Erling is recovering, tomorrow we have the last training session and we will see how he feels.

“The doctors tell me two or three weeks [for Foden].”

On Haaland’s absence changing plans

“The football is the quality of the players… Haaland has his skills, Julián [Álvarez] has his skills. It depends, most of the players came back yesterday.

“All the season we had mainly all the squad available, but at times you have injuries. With this amount of games, with just 11 or 12 players it does not happen.”

On facing Liverpool

“We know each other for many years, so one more. They remain an exceptional team.

“They can beat everyone, like we can beat everyone.”

On winning the treble

“It’s so difficult, OK we have this game but we have a tough, tough schedule with many games. After many, many years, we are fighting for that. We are in all competitions, that is awesome.

“The most important thing is we are fighting for everything, three things, that is so good. Winning is good but sustaining for 10/11 months is so difficult. Still, we are there.”
