Erling Haaland returns to Man City as he continues rehab on groin injury that ruled him out of international action with Norway... leaving Pep Guardiola sweating over his availability for crunch tie against rivals Liverpool

Erling Haaland has returned to Manchester City to continue rehabilitation on a groin injury picked up last week.

The striker, who has plundered 42 goals in all competitions this season, joined Norway for their games against Spain and Georgia but left the camp ‘deeply frustrated’, according to manager Stale Solbakken.

Haaland has been with City’s sports therapist Mario Pafundi as he checked in for medical tests in Barcelona before spending time receiving treatment near the family’s property in Marbella.

Pafundi accompanies the 22-year-old while on international duty to manage any ongoing fitness issues and the pair are believed to have flown back to the UK on Sunday.
