Will Swansea avoid Haaland?
Erling Haaland could be rested for Manchester City's trip to Swansea after colliding with the goalpost

Swansea City may not have to deal with Premier League top scorer Erling Haaland when they host Manchester City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
The Norwegian striker was limping heavily during Sunday's league defeat at Aston Villa after colliding with a post when he had a goal disallowed for offside.
His absence would be a big boost for Alan Sheehan's men as the 25-year-old has been in blistering form this season, scoring 15 goals in 12 appearances for club and country.
Man City boss Pep Guardiola said the trip to Swansea is an opportunity to rest the Norway striker, with Omar Marmoush and Rayan Cherki in contention to start.
He said: "I haven't seen Erling today but it was a knock, and day by day it is better. We train this afternoon [Tuesday], we will find out how he feels and decide if he can play."
Midfielder Rodri is training and is "getting better" after sustaining a hamstring injury before the international break, but remains out.
