Premier League: Haaland absent from Manchester City squad at Brighton

Launched in a frantic race for the title in England against Arsenal and Liverpool, Manchester City will have to do without their Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, still injured, Thursday in Brighton in a late match of the 29th day.

Co-top scorer in the Premier League with 20 goals, Haaland had already had to withdraw due to a muscle injury on Tuesday against Chelsea, for the Citizens' victory in the semi-final of the FA Cup (1-0).

The Norwegian star, injured during the Champions League quarter-final elimination against Real Madrid last week, is expected to return to Nottingham Forest on Sunday for the 35th day out of 38. “Erling is not ready” for Brighton, their coach, Pep Guardiola, said on Wednesday. The Spaniard will, however, be able to count on Phil Foden and John Stones, who were uncertain.

Guardiola was reassuring for the future regarding Haaland: “It's not very serious, but he is not allowed to participate in this match.” At a thrilling end to the season, Arsenal are leaders with 77 points after their 5-0 demonstration against Chelsea on Tuesday.

But the Gunners have one match more than Liverpool (74 pts), who could return to their level on Wednesday in the event of victory in the derby against Everton, and two matches more than Manchester City (73 pts), who have their destiny between hands. Brighton is 10th with 44 points, six points behind 7th place, qualifying for the play-offs for access to the Europa Conference League.
