Erling Haaland has been pictured in training ahead of Manchester City’s huge trip to Arsenal on Wednesday.

The Premier League’s top scorer was taken off at half-time during City’s win over Aston Villa on Sunday, sparking fears he would miss what is being billed as a title-decider.

Pep Guardiola confirmed the forward had picked up a knock and was duly taken off as a precaution.

City, however, posted a photo of the 22-year-old in training on Monday as the champions prepare for their journey to north London later this week.

Haaland is on course to break all manner of scoring records this season after bagging 20 goals in his opening 21 appearances and having him available is a major boost for Guardiola’s side.

City would return to the top of the table should they leave the Emirates Stadium with three points, though current leaders Arsenal have a game in hand.
