Blues may be forced to face Liverpool without Haa once again

They could be without nine players when they take on Liverpool next weekend, leaving just 12 fit outfield players as it stands. Ederson also withdrew from international duty, meaning the squad that takes on Liverpool could include as few as 14 senior players.

Some of those injuries or withdrawals may have recovered by next Saturday, while Erling Haaland's injury was described curiously as 'not career-threatening' by his national team manager. If Haaland isn't available, though, it wouldn't be the first time City face Liverpool without their star striker.

Last season, Haaland missed City's home clash with Liverpool due to a groin injury, potentially serving as a big blow to City's title hopes in April when they couldn't afford many slip-ups in pursuit of Arsenal.
