Maresca is yet to confirm whether Haaland will be rested for their upcoming Champions League match against AEK Athens. The team remains at the top of the Premier League table, six points clear from second place. Manchester City continues to face uncertainty due to an ongoing financial scandal but has not let it affect their performance on the field.
