COMMENTS Manchester City have a backup plan for if Erling Haaland gets injured.
City now have just one recognised senior striker on their books after the departure of Omar Marmoush to Tottenham , with the Egypt international moving to north London on an initial loan.
That deal will eventually become permanent, in the region of £60million, and as such, the former Frankfurt man will not return to the Etihad Stadium.
Enzo Maresca ’s side did not replace Marmoush, and as such, they have been left with Haaland as their only central striking option going into the season.
The transfer deadline has passed, with City making two additions on Deadline Day, but both came in the form of midfielders.
