Haaland misses Man City's trip to Leeds with 'little injury'
LEEDS, England (AP) — Erling Haaland was left out of Manchester City's squad for the Premier League match at Leeds on Saturday after sustaining a "little injury" in training, manager Pep Guardiola said.
"Two days ago, he had in the last moments of training some problems," Guardiola said ahead of the game at Elland Road.
"A little injury," Guardiola added, without disclosing the exact nature of Haaland's problem. "It's not a big issue but not ready for today."
