Manchester City have Erling Haaland back in the squad against Wolves tonight.
The Norwegian has not featured since suffering an ankle injury in the FA Cup quarter-final win over Bournemouth in March, missing City's last four matches across all competitions which has seen them reach the FA Cup final and strengthen their grip on Champions League qualification.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Pep Guardiola said he "doesn't think" Haaland will be fit for the visit of in-form Wolves, however the striker does make the bench.
Long-term absentee Rodri is also back in training but is not yet ready to return.
“We are really pleased Erling is back and Rodri is back in the training sessions,” the City boss said. “The moment the physio and doctor say that Rodri can start to play minutes and after that he will start to play minutes.
"But the doctors have to tell me... When the doctor says Rodri is stable and he can play, after that he is going to come back.”
Omar Marmoush continues to lead the line for City and Kevin De Bruyne is recalled after starting the FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest last weekend on the bench.
James McAtee is on the bench, having served a suspension at Wembley, along with the likes of Phil Foden and Jack Grealish.
Further back, Ederson is fit to start in goal, but John Stones and Oscar Bobb are still out.
Man City XI: Ederson, Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O'Reilly, Kovacic, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Doku, Marmoush
Subs: Ortega, Haaland, Grealish, Nico, Akanji, Savinho, Foden, Lewis, McAtee
Time and date: 8pm BST on Friday May 2, 2025
