Erling Haaland: Pep Guardiola hopeful Man City striker can face Real Madrid

Pep Guardiola said he is hopeful Erling Haaland will be fit for Manchester City's Champions League second-leg against Real Madrid on Wednesday after admitting to being "scared" by the forward's second-half injury against Newcastle.
Haaland, who captained City for the first time in a Premier League game against the Carabao Cup finalists, went down clutching his knee in the final stages of the 4-0 win at the Etihad.
The 25-year-old appeared to jar his right knee unchallenged before falling to the ground in clear discomfort, but after a period of treatment, Haaland was able to walk off the pitch before watching the rest of the game from the substitutes' bench.
Erling Haaland went down with injury during Man City's Premier League win against Newcastle.
"When he went down, everyone was scared," Guardiola said. "But he walked off smiling and the doctor didn't tell me bad news so hopefully he is fine.
"I have not spoken to the doctor. Maybe it's not bad as it could be." City must overturn a 3-2 first-leg deficit against Real in the Santiago Bernabรฉu to reach the round of 16.
