Pep Guardiola confirms another Erling Haaland knock before facing Arsenal

After beating Newcastle United 2-0 on Saturday, Pep Guardiola shared a concerning fitness update for Manchester City.

Speaking to reporters after the game, the Man City boss explained: "We need Kevin [De Bruyne], Jack [Grealish] and Erling [Haaland] to come back [from injuries] in the best possible conditions."

Man City return from the international break with a potential Premier League title-deciding clash with Arsenal.

The Gunners are now top of the table - level on points with second-placed Liverpool but ahead by goal difference.

Only one point separates Arsenal and Man City before the big game at the end of this month. Guardiola can only pray Haaland is back to action before that.
