Manchester City striker Erling Haaland was replaced at half-time in the goalless draw at Borussia Dortmund because he had a fever this week, according to City boss Pep Guardiola.
Haaland has scored a record-breaking 22 goals in his first 15 games for City.
But at Dortmund he only had 13 touches and one blocked shot in a subdued first half, before being replaced along with Joao Cancelo at the break.
"Erling had a bit of fever before the game, Joao too," Guardiola said.
"He was tired, Joao as well. That's why we changed it. In that period we struggle a lot."
City sealed top spot in their Champions League group with their point in Germany.
