Will Haaland Start Against Ipswich? Latest After Man City Lineup Hint
Maresca says City may rotate heavily and consider false nines or academy options after Haaland was hurt late in the win over Ipswich.
- On Tuesday, manager Enzo Maresca confirmed Erling Haaland is a doubt for Manchester City's Champions League tie against AEK Athens after suffering a knock during Saturday's 3-2 win over Ipswich Town.
- Haaland has scored 12 goals this season at a rate of one every 71 minutes, prompting Maresca to consider resting the striker before this injury emerged.
- Forward Antoine Semenyo will miss two months with a knee injury, leaving Phil Foden and Rayan Cherki as false nine options to replace Haaland in attack.
- Maresca is evaluating squad fitness following the Ipswich match, with rotation planned to manage player workloads across a congested schedule.
- Seventeen-Year-Old academy midfielder Floyd Samba impressed in the Carabao Cup last month, scoring twice against Norwich City and providing an unconventional backup option.
