Manchester City face Arsenal in the Community Shield today. The Evening Standard reports that Haaland is available to play, while Rodri is unlikely to be selected.

The Norwegian international scored two goals in three appearances against Arsenal last season. His absence from the final stage of Thursday's open training session initially caused some concern among fans.

However, Manchester City's new manager Enzo Maresca insists that the striker can be included in the matchday squad in Cardiff.

"Haaland is fine, just a minor issue behind his ear, but he's in good form," the Italian said at Friday's pre-match press conference.

Rodri has returned to Manchester City after undergoing minor back surgery. Maresca stated on Friday that he is ready to train, but his chances of playing in this match are slim as Barcelona are preparing to make another bid for him.
