Six injured Manchester City players will not play in Saturday’s Premier League match against Southampton.
In recent weeks, the Blues have experienced a number of troubles, which have been exacerbated in recent days by Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish. During the Champions League victory over Sparta Prague in the middle of the week, Pep Guardiola only used seven substitutes out of a potential twelve, including two goalkeepers.
Prior to the Saints’ visit to the Etihad, things have not gotten much better, and Guardiola was not feeling particularly upbeat during his pregame press conference. This is the most recent information from the City treatment room.
What we know: The winger has suffered an injury that is likely to sideline him until after the November international break. Guardiola said on Friday that the issue would take a few weeks to recover from.
Jack Grealish
Injury: Unknown
What we know: The winger is unable to play this weekend due to an injury sustained during practice before the Champions League match against Sparta Prague. When he will resume his activities is still up in the air.
Potential return date: Tottenham (A) October 30
Kyle Walker
Injury: Unknown
What we know: Walker missed out at Wolves with a fitness issue. He played one of England’s two games during the international break and Guardiola is unsure of when he will return. The weekend visit of Southampton may well come too soon.
Potential return date: Tottenham (A) October 30
Kevin De Bruyne
Injury: Thigh
What we know: De Bruyne has not featured since picking up an injury against Inter Milan in the Champions League. He is back in light training but Guardiola confirmed the Belgian still does not feel right and all precautions are being taken.
Potential return date: Bournemouth (A) November 2
Rodri
Injury: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)
What we know: Rodri has sustained a serious knee injury and will miss the rest of the campaign. The hope for City will be that he can be fit to start when the 2025-26 campaign begins.
