With Erling Haaland being substituted at half-time due to an injury scare during Manchester City's UEFA Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night, Pep Guardiola has given an update on the striker's fitness.
The Citizens shared points with the Bundesliga club after both sides failed to break the deadlock at Signal Iduna Park, with Riyad Mahrez missing a second-half penalty.

Despite the 0-0 draw, City got the result they needed to confirm top spot in Group H and their passage to the round of 16.
Haaland started the match against his former club but was taken off at half-time along with Joao Cancelo, with Bernardo Silva and Manuel Akanji going on in their places.
Guardiola has since revealed that the striker had to go off after being under the weather in the build-up to the game, and that he is nursing a knock too.
"There were three things," the 51-year-old said when explaining why Haaland was substituted, per the Daily Mirror.
"Firstly, I saw him so tired
"The second one he had a bit of a fever, like Joao Cancelo.
"The third, he had a knock on his foot.
"That's why he wasn't able to play in the second-half."
The Spanish boss was then asked if he knew the extent of Haaland's foot injury.
"I don't know right now," the head coach replied.
"They [City's medical staff] were a little bit concerned at half-time, but I saw him walking okay at the end, so we'll have to see."
