(Reuters) - Erling Haaland will not travel with Manchester City for their Champions League tie with Red Star Belgrade but will return to training on Thursday, manager Pep Guardiola said on Tuesday.

Haaland was absent from City's 2-1 win at Luton Town on Sunday with a foot injury, the first game the Premier League's top scorer has missed this season.
