Manchester City's Erling Haaland sits on the bench ahead of the Champions League playoff second leg soccer match between Real Madrid and Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu S

Haaland was an unused substitute last week against Real Madrid and then left out of the squad completely for the defeat to Liverpool on Sunday, having failed to recover from a knee injury he picked up against Newcastle on February 15.

Pep Guardiola admits that he does not know when Erling Haaland will be available again, but hopes that he will play on Wednesday when Manchester City travel to take on Tottenham Hotspur. The Norwegian sat on the bench last week as City were beaten 3-1 at Real Madrid and then was not involved in the squad at all on Sunday as they lost 2-0 at home to Liverpool.
