• Erling Haaland is a major doubt for Man City ahead of their Premier League clash against Liverpool
• The Man City superstar is believed to be battling a groin injury he picked before the international break
• Haaland has been impressive for City since he joined them from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022

Manchester City are likely to miss the services of Erling Haaland ahead of their Premier League cracker against Liverpool.

The reigning English champions are set to lock horns against the Reds on Saturday, April 1, at the Etihad Stadium.

The match comes at a time City are looking to earn maximum points against Liverpool for a chance to catch up with league leaders Arsenal who are currently enjoying an eight-point lead at the top of the standings.

However, they are likely to do that without one of their most prolific players this season in the shape of Erling Haaland.

Is Erling Haaland injured?

According to Sportbible, the Norwegian hotshot was not pictured at Man City's training base on Thursday, March 30, as Pep Guardiola's charges resumed training.

While no update has been delivered regarding Haaland's fitness, the publication claims he remains a major doubt for the Liverpool clash.

The star forward was originally a doubt for the cracker after he suffered a groin injury during Man City's 6-0 win over Burnley in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, his father had previously spoken about the ex-Dortmund star's fitness, revealing the 22-year-old has visited Barcelona for check-ups in recent days.

"Manchester City has a partnership with a hospital in Barcelona so he has been there for further checks and treatment," Haaland's dad told Norwegian news outlet TV2 via Liverpool Echo last week.

Sleep is Haaland's top secret

Sports Brief earlier reported that Haaland rates his sleep highly and does not joke with it and claimed in an interview it is the most important thing in his life.

He has a strict sleep schedule, goes to bed between 10 pm and 10:30 pm and makes use of technological equipment to make him sleep well and minor data of his sleep cycles.
