Guardiola Optimistic About Haaland's Fitness Ahead of Key Champions League

Man City could secure Champions League knockout stage spot with victory over Young Boys, but Haaland's involvement remains uncertain after ankle injury during 6-1 win over Bournemouth.

Erling Haaland, Manchester City's striker, twisted his ankle in the recent 6-1 win over Bournemouth and was substituted at half-time. His participation in the upcoming Champions League match against Young Boys remains uncertain.
Pep Guardiola has expressed optimism about Haaland's fitness, stating that he will consider fielding the player if he expresses readiness and is pain-free.
A win against Young Boys would secure Manchester City's place in the Champions League knockout stage for the 11th consecutive season.
If Haaland is unavailable, Julian Álvarez is set to replace him in the match against Young Boys.
Guardiola has hailed the consistency of his team over the years, including the consistent qualifications to the Champions League knockout stages, which is an achievement that not every major English club has managed.
