Pep Guardiola eases concerns over Erling Haaland's fitness to face Liverpool after the Norway international twisted his ankle on international duty

Pep Guardiola is hopeful that Erling Haaland will take part in the Premier League clash between Manchester City and Liverpool on Saturday after revealing the player took part in Thursday's training session.

The Norway international was withdrawn from international competition ahead of last weekend after picking up an ankle issue during a friendly against Faroe Islands.

Haaland missed Norway's final European Championship qualifier against Scotland on Sunday, but his domestic manager eased concerns about his availability on Saturday in his press conference before the crunch clash.
