Erling Haaland Misses Manchester City’s Premier League Match Against Liverpool Due to Injury

The star striker is sidelined with a knee injury sustained against Newcastle, leaving City without their top scorer for the critical clash.

Erling Haaland, Manchester City's leading scorer with 27 goals this season, was not included in the squad for Sunday’s Premier League match against Liverpool due to a knee injury.
Haaland sustained the injury during City's 4-0 victory over Newcastle on February 15 and was an unused substitute in the midweek Champions League loss to Real Madrid.
City manager Pep Guardiola had expressed uncertainty on Friday about Haaland's availability, emphasizing the team’s strength when the striker is on the pitch.
January signing Omar Marmoush was named in the starting lineup, while Jérémy Doku and Kevin De Bruyne also returned to the XI for the match.
The game carries significant implications for Liverpool, who lead the Premier League and could extend their advantage over second-place Arsenal with a win.
