Haaland a doubt and Semenyo out for Man City’s Champions League game

Manchester City face the prospect of being without star striker Erling Haaland for Tuesday's Champions League game against AEK Athens

The Norway international scored twice in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town to take his tally to eight Premier League goals for the season, leading the top-flight scoring charts once more. But the 26-year-old suffered a blow to the foot in the game and is now a doubt for the European night at Etihad Stadium, as City look to get back to winning ways in the competition after last week's 4-2 defeat by Paris St-Germain.

"To replace Erling is always difficult but we have some different options. It also depends on the gameplan. At the moment it is Erling. Why do we need to think of a different nine if Erling is there? If something happened or we need a different nine plan, we'll see," said manager Enzo Maresca.

Should Haaland not make a recovery, it would leave Maresca with a dilemma on who to select up front after Antoine Semenyo was ruled out for eight weeks with the left knee injury he picked up in the win over Ipswich.
