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.
Erling Haaland left Norway's training camp in Marbella, Spain, to see a doctor in Barcelona that his club has used on previous occasions, before returning to his own house in the Costa del Sol city.

According to The Times, Alfie told Norway's TV 2 Sport: 'Manchester City has a partnership with a hospital in Barcelona so he has been there for further checks and treatment.
'Now he has been [in Marbella] for a couple of days with the physio from the club. Firstly, I'm not a doctor and secondly, I think it's 'touch and go', yes. You can't just go two weeks without training and then jump right into a fight. There must be a progression there.
'They can gamble on it, but if he doesn’t get proper training with the team, then he won't play. It is about how he responds to treatment in the next few days. He needs a lot of care.'
Alfie added that Erling is 'doing well, but he is very sad' to be missing out on the opportunity to line up for his nation during the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Norway have not qualified for the European Champions since the year 2000, and Haaland would be keen to represent his country in a major tournament.
Manchester City host Liverpool on April 1 before travelling to Southampton seven days later. They then have both quarter-final legs against Bayern Munich sandwiched either side of another Premier League test against Leicester City.
Haaland has struck 42 goals in 37 matches across all competitions, including eight in his last two outings before the injury struck.
The Norwegian's addition to the Man City frontline has been praised by Phil Foden, who said Haaland helped the side 'find a different way to play' since his arrival last summer.
And his goalscoring talents have attracted the attention of Real Madrid, who are considering the prospect of paying up to £212m to sign Haaland away from the Etihad in the summer of 2024.

Your not so handsome robot in Halaand will be toothless in Germany. He is good for the PL and cap games. No UCL Cup for MC e en this season.

He played the community shield and epl first leg and we know the result. We want him 100% fit . We have no problem with an attacker who can't control the ball,drib ,contribute to buildup plays nor pass the ball well

We are liverpool. We may be bad and poor now but our rivals know what it takes to face us. City has the advantage due to their form but we will just try our best . Liverpool won't let Arsenal down

Spending 100m+ on a football player is pure waste of money. But who listens to me..?
