(Reuters) - Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is in contention to start against Southampton this weekend, manager Pep Guardiola said on Friday after the Norwegian striker recovered from an ankle injury that kept him sidelined for nearly six weeks.
With 21 goals in the Premier League, Haaland was a contender for the top scorer's Golden Boot award but has slipped to third behind Liverpool's Mohamed Salah (28) and Newcastle United's Alexander Isak (23).
