Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has no problem with his players competing internationally.

Erling Haaland was injured for Norway in a friendly against the Faroe Islands, but will be fit for today's clash with Liverpool.

It's football," Guardiola said.

(I have) no problems with them in the international teams. Not a problem. No. They don't want to get injured. We are not an exception."

On the possibility of Haaland reaching the 50-goal Premier League milestone should he play today, Guardiola added: I didn't know. I don't follow the stats and the records.

I focus on Liverpool and winning the game.

It's good for him and us, but I'm not preparing the game for Erling to break the record and score goals."
