Man City boss Guardiola unsure if Haaland, De Bruyne will make FA Cup semi

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits that he is unsure whether Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland will play over the weekend.

City take on Chelsea in the FA Cup semi final on Saturday at Wembley Stadium.

Haaland and De Bruyne both came off before the end of their Champions League quarter final defeat to Real Madrid on penalties.

“Kevin is well," said Guardiola to reporters about the duo, who he stated asked him to come off in the match.

“Erling. we will see.

“I don't know I'm not a doctor. He said a little bit niggles and we'll see his evolution in the next hours.

“It was a tough game [against Madrid]. 120 mins of action. High intensity for both sides. Erling felt something. A muscular issue that meant he could not continue.

“Kevin was exhausted after five months out injured. That is normal. We will see tomorrow.

“It's normal. The number of games this season and previous seasons, not much recovery and extra time and high intensity the way we play.

“We put a lot of pressure in our game. They are human beings, not machines and sometimes fatigue is there."
