Haaland Man City debut: When will Erling Haaland make his Manchester City debut?
Pep Guardiola expects Haaland to be ready to face the German giants in Green Bay in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Guardiola said: “Next game, Erling will be ready. He had some niggles and a few problems. We’ll see – he’s trained just two sessions and didn’t want to take risks because the season is so long.
“He had injury problems last season and tried to handle it. We want to take care of him and want him fit.”
One player who did hit the ground running was Kevin de Bruyne who scored twice in the victory over the Mexican side.

Guardiola added: “Kevin came back on top form and no injuries, that’s good. “Last season we arrived really bad with injuries. This season is the complete opposite. He can continue his levels after last year was his best for goals.”
Meanwhile, Jack Grealish believes Haaland is going to be “unstoppable” for Manchester City this season. While Haaland did not feature in Thursday’s win over Club America, fellow new arrival Julian Alvarez took the chance to shine.
He didn’t find the net in the 2-1 win but Grealish said: “Julian was brilliant too. He actually reminds me of Jamie Vardy, the way he presses, can finish and runs in behind.”
