Erling Haaland is likely to be rested for Manchester City's Carabao Cup match against Swansea City after sustaining a knock from colliding with the post against Aston Villa. Midfielder Rodri remains sidelined with a hamstring injury and is not yet ready to return to play. Pep Guardiola's side is expected to heavily rotate their squad for the trip to South Wales to manage their demanding fixture schedule. Guardiola stressed that he approaches matches against lower-division teams with "incredible focus," taking no opponent for granted. Kalvin Phillips, who has seen limited game time, may travel with the squad, with Guardiola confirming the decision on his involvement rests solely with him.
