Two days in Marbella. Ready for Anfield.
Norway rationed Haaland at 67 minutes. City say he's fit for Sunday. Foden's ban runs out at Anfield.
Erling Haaland is fit for Anfield. Enzo Maresca said so at Friday's press conference: "He's good. He went to Marbella, two or three days off, played golf, recovery. Ready for Anfield."
That closes the loop on Norway taking him off at 67 minutes against Portugal on 4 October. It was a planned cut, not an injury, and City got the rested version of their nine back. England didn't hand back the same deal: Elliot Anderson and Marc Guéhi started all four Nations League games. The full count is in yesterday's piece, "Norway rationed the nine. England didn't ration the spine."
Phil Foden won't be there. Sunday's game at Anfield (16:30 BST) is the last match of his three-match ban for the red card at Old Trafford. He's eligible again for the Champions League against PSG on 14 October.
See what others miss.
