MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Erling Haaland was left out of Manchester City’s starting lineup for the Premier League game against Wolverhampton on Saturday amid a slump in form.
The Norway striker, who was named on the bench, has only scored one goal in his last eight games in all competitions — and that was a penalty against Brighton in the league.
City manager Pep Guardiola made the big call on Haaland after two straight losses — to Manchester United in the league and Bodø/Glimt in the Champions League.
City has a crucial Champions League game at home to Galatasaray on Wednesday in its bid to secure direct qualification to the round of 16.
