Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expects Erling Haaland to be back ‘soon’ after missing the 2-0 loss against Liverpool due to an injury, potentially as early as on Wednesday against Tottenham Hotspur.

However, one player celebrated more strongly than most, as Kostas Tsimikas “virtually” invaded the Manchester City technical area to cheer “right behind” Pep Guardiola – according to Simon Stone of the BBC.

Pep Guardiola accepts Manchester City are not challenging Liverpool for the title this season but is convinced they can still match them on their day. After winning the Premier League for the past four years, City find themselves in an unfamiliar position outside the race for top spot this season.
