Erling Haaland provided Manchester City with a fitness boost as he trained with the squad ahead of the Champions League clash with Young Boys on Tuesday.
Haaland was substituted at half-time of City's win over Bournemouth at the weekend as a precaution after feeling a twist in his ankle, with Pep Guardiola saying he 'felt better' on Sunday but was a doubt for the visit of Young Boys, and maybe against Chelsea at the weekend. Earlier on Monday, Guardiola said Haaland would be considered against Young Boys if he was fit, and that possibility remains after he was part of the training squad that afternoon.ALSO READ: Pep Guardiola issues Erling Haaland injury update ahead of Man City vs Young Boys
