Erling Haaland remains a doubt for Manchester City's Premier League clash with Liverpool on Saturday, according to manager Pep Guardiola.
The striker missed Norway's games during the international break with a groin injury.
City manager Guardiola said at a press conference on Friday: "We will see this afternoon how he feels. The last training is at 4 o'clock."
City will definitely be without midfielder Phil Foden, who underwent surgery to have his appendix removed last week.
Guardiola said: "The doctors tell me (he will be out) two or three weeks. We will see how he develops."
Prolific striker Haaland withdrew from Norway's recent Euro 2024 qualifiers after suffering a groin injury in City’s FA Cup victory over Burnley a fortnight ago.
Haaland, who has scored 42 goals in all competitions this season, will be assessed after City’s final training session ahead of the lunchtime encounter at the Etihad Stadium.
City, who trail leaders Arsenal by eight points with a game in hand, have a big few weeks ahead.
They face Bayern Munich over two legs in the Champions League quarter-finals and then face the Gunners in another crucial fixture before the end of April.
It could therefore be a risk to play Haaland this weekend if not fully fit but Guardiola is not ruling anything out.
He said: "We’ll see, the doctors and the player will decide, if he feels good. We’ll see, life at this stage is risks and sometimes you have to take."
Guardiola said: "The doctors tell me (he will be out) two or three weeks. We will see how he develops."
