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.
