The father of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland admits he was again in Barcelona on Thursday.

Haaland is nursing a groin injury suffered before the international break and was in Barcelona for a consultation with Dr Ramon Cugat.

Alf-Inge confirmed: "City has an agreement with a hospital in Barcelona.

"I'm not a doctor, but if you don't train for two weeks, you can't play a match like this (against Liverpool).

"There must be a clear improvement. If he can't train, he can't play. It depends on how he responds to treatment in the next few days."
