City coach Enzo Maresca emphasized at the press conference that the Norwegian’s participation in the match against AEK will be determined on game day. However, his absence from training raises further questions about the Italian coach’s final lineup decisions ahead of the match.
Along with Erling Haaland, Matheus Nunes, Nico O’Reilly, and Mateo Kovačić were also absent, while Antoine Semenyo is sidelined with an injury expected to keep him out of action for the next two months.
