Erling Haaland is 'touch and go' for Man City's match with Liverpool next weekend, according to the Norwegian star's dad Alfie... revealing the goal-machine has seen a doctor in Barcelona to deal with groin problem

Erling Haaland is 'touch and go' for Manchester City's clash with Liverpool at the start of April, according to the Norwegian star's dad.

Haaland's Premier League goalscoring antics have been legendary even though it is the 22-year-old's first season playing in England.

However, the striker suffered groin pain against Burnley last weekend, and the national FA confirmed that the injury will leave Haaland absent from Norway's games against Spain and Georgia.

Now Erling's father Alfie Haaland - a former Nottingham Forest, Leeds United and Manchester City player - said it was currently unclear if the goal-machine would be back in time for Pep Guardiola's side to face Liverpool on April 1.
