Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed star striker Erling Haaland faces 5-7 weeks on the sidelines with a leg injury ahead of their clash with Leicester City.

"They told me the doctors say between five to seven weeks," said Guardiola. "So hopefully the end of the season and by the Club World Cup he will be ready. Sometimes there are years when these kinds of things happen. It happened all season."

City said on Monday that Haaland would see a specialist about the injury and anticipate he "will be fit to play a further part in the remainder of this season including this summer's Fifa Club World Cup".
