Story summary

As of October 17, 2026, Erling Haaland's status for Manchester City's upcoming Carabao Cup match against Ipswich is uncertain due to manager Pep Maresca hinting at heavy squad rotation. Despite Haaland's impressive form—scoring in seven consecutive games and breaking two Champions League records—he may be rested ahead of a crucial Champions League fixture against AEK Athens on October 20. Haaland has been an ever-present player for City across three competitions this season, scoring 13 goals for club and country already. However, after suffering an injury scare during Norway's Nations League match against Portugal, Maresca is considering giving him a break to ensure his fitness for more important matches.
