Erling Haaland has missed Manchester City ’s FA Cup tie against Newcastle United on Saturday night but the striker is not suffering from an injury.

The Norway international played a full 90 minutes in City’s 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night.

But he did not travel with City’s squad for their FA Cup fifth-round tie against Newcastle at St James’ Park this weekend.

City have allayed any injury concerns and have confirmed that Haaland is not part of Pep Guardiola ’s squad because they are ‘conscious of an intense forthcoming fixture schedule’.

From the side that started against Forest earlier this week, Guardiola has made 10 changes with James Trafford, Abdukodir Khusanov, John Stones , Nathan Ake, Nico, Jeremy Doku, Tijjani Reijnders, Nico O’Reilly, Omar Marmoush and Savinho all brought into the starting line-up.

Gianluigi Donnarumma, Ruben Dias, Rayan Cherki, Marc Guehi, Rodri, Bernardo, Rayan Air-Nouri, Antoine Semenyo and Phil Foden all drop to the bench.

The winners of City’s tie against Newcastle on Saturday night will be in the draw for the FA Cup quarter-final on Monday .
