Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has given Erling Haaland a break. The Norwegian striker will miss the League Cup match against Norwich City but is set to return for the game against Sunderland.

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has given Erling Haaland a short break. The striker will miss the League Cup match against Norwich City.

The coaching staff are managing the Norwegian's workload carefully following a demanding start to the season. He is expected to make his return in the upcoming Premier League clash against Sunderland.

Last weekend, Haaland scored the decisive goal in the Manchester derby against Manchester United, with the strike being awarded after a VAR review despite an initial offside flag.

In the cup match, the Cityzens will rely on the depth of their squad as they aim to progress without their leading marksman.
