Pep Guardiola insists he 'doesn't think' Erling Haaland will be ready for Man City's clash with Crystal Palace... and admits he is a DOUBT for next week's Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia

Pep Guardiola does not expect Erling Haaland to be fit for Manchester City's Premier League match against Crystal Palace on Saturday and admitted the Norway striker is a doubt for next week's Club World Cup fixtures.

Haaland missed last weekend's win at Luton and the midweek victory over Red Star Belgrade with a foot injury, and Guardiola said he would be assessed on Friday afternoon.

Speaking ahead of their clash with Crystal Palace, Guardiola said that Haaland had arrived at their training ground, and he would see what their doctors say about his status.
