<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/erling-haaland-ruled-out-man-city-issue-statement-striker-s-ankle-injury/bltd4b366f2cb80e467" target="_self"></a>Speaking in his press conference this afternoon, Pep Guardiola confirmed star striker Haaland is ready to feature on Saturday - <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/erling-haaland-ruled-out-man-city-issue-statement-striker-s-ankle-injury/bltd4b366f2cb80e467" target="_self">after seven matches out with an ankle injury sustained during City's FA Cup quarter-final victory at Bournemouth.</a><a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/erling-haaland-ruled-out-man-city-issue-statement-striker-s-ankle-injury/bltd4b366f2cb80e467"></a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Haaland's return will surely boost the Citizens' chances of securing Champions League qualification for a 15th consecutive season. Guardiola's side sit third in the league, and need just six points from their final three league games to secure European football next season.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Guardiola said: "He’s ready. He’s ready, he's fit. To start? We will decide tomorrow."<a href="https://x.com/ManCity/status/1920829299642249463/photo/1"><br></a></p>

WHAT GUARDIOLA SAID

<p>Haaland has struck 21 goals in 28 PL appearances this season but City have continued their resurgence in his absence, picking up 16 points out of the last 18 and reaching the FA Cup final.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>After they visit St. Mary's, City face Crystal Palace in the FA Cup Final on 17th May before encounters against Bournemouth and Fulham decide their league fate.</p>
