Erling Haaland is absent from Manchester City's squad for the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley Stadium.

Erling Haaland has not been named in the Manchester City squad for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea.

The forward needed to be withdrawn prior to extra time commencing against Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie on Wednesday night.

That issue has subsequently led to the Norway international being left out of the squad, but Kevin De Bruyne - who also requested to be substituted before the conclusion of extra time - is named in the starting lineup.

Pep Guardiola has made a total of four changes to his Man City XI, also recalling goalkeeper Stefan Ortega between the sticks in place of Ederson.

John Stones, Nathan Ake and Julian Alvarez have been selected in the team, with Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol the other two players to drop out.

Meanwhile, Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino has made just the one alteration to the team that thrashed Everton 6-0 in the Premier League on Monday night.

Enzo Fernandez missed that contest and it has since been reported that he could undergo surgery on a hernia issue, but the Argentina international takes his place in midfield.

Mykhaylo Mudryk is the player to drop out of the team, with Noni Madueke retaining his place despite causing a squabble over a penalty kick against the Toffees.

Despite Axel Disasi and Raheem Sterling returning to the squad after injury and illness respectively, Pochettino has chosen to select the pair among the replacements.

Marc Cucurella also keeps his spot at left-back despite Ben Chilwell making a substitute outing on his return from injury against Everton five days ago.

Manchester City: Ortega; Walker, Stones, Akanji, Ake; Rodri, De Bruyne; Bernardo, Foden, Grealish; Alvarez

Subs: Ederson, Dias, Kovacic, Doku, Gomez, Gvardiol, Nunes, Bobb, Lewis

Chelsea: Petrovic; Gusto, Chalobah, Silva, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez, Gallagher; Madueke, Palmer, Jackson

Subs: Bettinelli, Badiashile, Disasi, Gilchrist, Chilwell, Chukwuemeka, Mudryk, Sterling, Washington
