Manchester City have welcomed back Erling Haaland tonight to face Tottenham.
Haaland was an unused substitute last week against Real Madrid in the Champions League and then left out of the squad completely for the defeat by Liverpool on Sunday, having failed to recover from a knee injury he picked up late on against Newcastle on February 15.

There is a quick three-day turnaround before City take on Spurs and Pep Guardiola says he will have decided on Tuesday evening if Haaland - who has been training - will be available in north London.
“Tonight, we will know it after training. I hope so but I don’t know yet,” the City boss told reporters at his pre-match press conference.
“He feels better but the last two games he could not play. We’ll see tomorrow.”
In a boost for Man City, Haaland is fit enough to lead the line as Phil Foden, was used as a false nine against Liverpool but struggled, has made way.
Ruben Dias came off the bench against Liverpool and starts in north London, with January signing Abdukodir Khusanov keeping his place as Nathan Ake is the one to drop down to the substitutes.
Kevin De Bruyne also drops out of the side with Omar Marmoush set to operate behind Haaland with Savinho and Jeremy Doku providing the width.
