Erling Haaland has returned to first-team training with Manchester City but is unlikely to face Wolves on Friday night.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Pep Guardiola said he "doesn't think" Haaland will be fit for the visit of Wolves while Rodri is also back in training but less close to a comeback.

“We are really pleased Erling is back and Rodri is back in the training sessions,” Guardiola 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 will, therefore, continue to lead the line for City and Kevin De Bruyne will hope to be recalled after starting the FA Cup semi-final on the bench.

James McAtee could also come in, having served a suspension at Wembley, though the likes of Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku and Phil Foden will have other ideas.

Further back, Stegan Ortega will continue in goal with Ederson still sidelined.
