Manchester City's medical team is working round the clock to keep key striker Erling Haaland fit for the season run-in, manager Pep Guardiola said ahead of Saturday's Premier League game at home to Leicester City.
There had been concerns over Haaland's fitness ahead of his transfer after he missed 16 games due to injury for Dortmund last term, but the Norway international has missed only four for City this campaign. "It's difficult to understand why you spend a lot of money and then leave them – I don't know what the other clubs do."
"Today with this demanding schedule of games every three or four days we have to take care of them," Guardiola said.
