Erling Haaland is a doubt for Manchester City's knockout stage Champions League second-leg clash against Real Madrid. The first leg at Etihad ended in a 3-2 win

Manchester City need all the help that they can get to overturn a 3-2 aggregate scoreline in their Champions League last-16 play-off second leg away to Real Madrid on Wednesday

Oscar Bobb returned to training following a leg injury back in January but is yet to feature and his return date remains unclear. Manuel Akanji required surgery on an abductor injury sustained during the Real Madrid defeat. Guardiola has confirmed Akanji faces “eight to ten weeks” out of action.

Madrid pulled off one of their trademarked Champions League comebacks, but that was aided by City once again having an abysmal defensive performance.

Real Madrid and Man City will go head-to-head in the second leg of their Champions League tie on Wednesday night.
