City are not commenting on the incident involving their striker, who has scored 42 goals in 37 matches this season.

The 22-year-old was due to link up with the Norway national team this past week but withdrew from his country’s squad after picking up a groin injury.

Haaland is now “touch and go” for Manchester City’s game against Liverpool after the international break, according to his father Alf-Inge.

City have offered no update on Haaland’s fitness but the striker’s father said last week he is receiving treatment in Spain.

“Manchester City has a partnership with a hospital in Barcelona so he has been there for further checks and treatment,” Alfie Haaland told Norway’s TV 2 Sport on Saturday.

“Now he has been in [Marbella] for a couple of days with the physio from the club. Firstly, I’m not a doctor and secondly, I think it’s ‘touch and go’, yes. You can’t just go two weeks without training and then jump right into a fight. There must be a progression there.

“They can gamble on it, but if he doesn’t get proper training with the team, then he won’t play. It is about how he responds to treatment in the next few days. He needs a lot of care.”
