We are not machines, the fatigue is there.\u201d<br \/>\nCity had appeared on pace to become the first team in history to win the treble \u2013 Champions League, FA Cup and Premier League \u2014 twice before Wednesday\u2019s defeat at the Etihad.<br \/>\nThey are still on course for the double, having taken a two-point lead atop the league standings last weekend with six games remaining.<br \/>\nAsked how his team can move on from their Champions League heartbreak, Guardiola said: \u201cWe don\u2019t have an option, we can\u2019t feel sorry for ourselves.<br \/>\n\u201cWe don\u2019t have time to reflect, we\u2019ll do that in the summertime. You compete to win, but sometimes you lose games, and that\u2019s what happened.\u201d<br \/>\nGuardiola\u2019s men will face former City winger Cole Palmer on Saturday at Wembley, following the 21-year-old\u2019s four goals in Chelsea\u2019s 6-0 rout of Everton on Monday that drew him level with Haaland as the league\u2019s top goalscorer this season. Haaland and Palmer both have 20 goals.<br \/>\nThe first question posed to Guardiola at Friday\u2019s press conference was about Palmer, who was sold to Chelsea last year.<br \/>\n\u201cHe\u2019s an exceptional player, we knew when he was here. I\u2019ve said many times, I didn\u2019t give (him) the minutes that maybe he deserved and now he has at Chelsea. I understand completely,\u201d the manager said.<br \/>\n\u201cHe\u2019s a shy guy with a lot of potential. It is what it is. He\u2019s playing fantastically well. But he was asking for two seasons to leave. I said \u2018no, stay\u2019. But he still said \u2018no, I want to leave\u2019. What could we do?\u201d<br \/>\nCity have won the FA Cup six times. A victory would set up a final clash against either last season\u2019s runners-up Manchester United or Championship (second tier) side Coventry City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pep Guardiola is uncertain whether Erling Haaland will feature in Saturday\u2019s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea after suffering a muscle injury during the Champions League quarter-final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8873,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1398,4811,2313,6863,6607,2542,2216,3,3185,4812,753,3365,935,7137,250,3330,658,4638,572,5290,5527,2069,1155,7136,3331,6615,1667,4813,348,815,5115,6928,2707,618,4560,6305],"class_list":["post-8872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other","tag-champions-league","tag-champions-league-quarter-final","tag-chelsea","tag-clash","tag-cole-palmer","tag-conference","tag-coventry-city","tag-cyprus","tag-defeat","tag-erling-haaland","tag-everton","tag-extinguished","tag-fa-cup","tag-fa-cup-semi-final","tag-google","tag-google-news","tag-history","tag-injured","tag-injury","tag-kevin-de-bruyne","tag-loss","tag-manchester-city","tag-manchester-united","tag-muscle-injury","tag-news","tag-penalty","tag-penalty-shootout","tag-pep-guardiola","tag-premier-league","tag-real-madrid","tag-recovery","tag-six","tag-surprise-move","tag-top","tag-victory","tag-who"],"acf":{"keyphrase":"","keywords":"","sourceimg":"","country-category":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Haaland a doubt for FA Cup semi due to muscle injury<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"injury.
