Manchester City's stars touch down in Saudi Arabia for the Club World Cup... as Erling Haaland makes the trip despite injury concerns and Kevin De Bruyne returns after four months out

Manchester City have touched down in Saudi Arabia for the Club World Cup - and Erling Haaland is with them despite recent fitness concerns. 

The club posted a picture of their stars lined up on the stairs of a City-branded Etihad plane in Jeddah. 

As well as Haaland, fans were delighted to see Kevin De Bruyne among the travelling pack after recently being named in the squad. 

City kick off their Club World Cup campaign against Japanese outfit Urawa Red Diamonds on Tuesday at 6pm and hope to lift the trophy for the first time. 

Pep Guardiola's men only have to navigate that semi-final clash against the Asian Champions League winners to play in the showpiece match. 

Haaland was excluded from City's squad at the weekend as they drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace.
