Man City boss Pep Guardiola says Erling Haaland told him he was not fit enough to play against Real Madrid.

Haaland was an unsued substitute as City were knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid on Wednesday night after picking up a knock against Newcastle.

City host title-chasing Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday and Haaland's fitness is sure to be a focus in the coming days.

“Erling yesterday tried to train after the last action against Newcastle. With the images we have done it was fine, but he had discomfort walking, for example up the stairs," said Guardiola.

“We spoke and he said he wasn’t ready, he didn’t feel good.”
