Haaland's 'well rested' as City pitch up for tough test in Norway

ERLING

Haaland slept like a baby ahead of City’s arrival in Norway but Pep Guardiola needs his players to wake up to the rough reality standing in their way of trophies this season.The Blues are without 10 players for their Champions League game in Bodo and have had to change their usual preparations to make exceptions for an artificial pitch.

City trained on the pitch on Monday evening rather than having a session back in Manchester as they try to get to grips with how the ball will bounce differently in the Aspmyra Stadium.
