Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admitted to his delight at being able to call on striker Erling Haaland.
The Norway forward is back fit after a lengthy issue that kept him out for much of the holiday period.
A stress fracture in his foot kept him out for the Club World Cup and several Premier League games.
"He will be selected, for the first time he is back. When we have all the squad, we are stronger, definitely," said Guardiola to reporters.
"Erling is an important player for us, definitely. Has been two months out, a long time, but he feels good.
We have training this afternoon but apparently tomorrow he will be with all of us."
