When asked about Haaland's injury before the match, Guardiola told Sky Sports: "[It is] a bone stress reaction in his foot. After the last game against Aston Villa he felt like this and he can't play."

Guardiola did not say how long he expected Haaland to be ruled out, adding the club would monitor the situation "day-by-day."
