VERY SAD Jeremy Doku news has been announced this Afternoon by Pep Guardiola after he was substituted in the 54th minute
In an effort to launch more direct attacks on the Spurs defence, boss Guardiola also gave the Belgian international the starting position on Sunday afternoon, starting him ahead of Jack Grealish in the wide left wing position against Ange Postecoglou’s team.
That’s exactly what happened in the first half of play, albeit Jeremy Doku did not score or provide an assist. He came closest, bending his shot and hitting the crossbar and post.
The 21-year-old’s second-half performance would only last seven minutes, as Jack Grealish came in to replace him. The player seemed to be complaining to Pep Guardiola about some leg pain, which caused the Manchester City supporters to worry about the seriousness of the issue.
Now, some minor specifics on what Jeremy Doku and Manchester City will do next to treat the issue have emerged via reports in Belgium, with an eye towards Wednesday night’s matchup against Aston Villa.
Sport Witness translated and recapped an article from the Belgian daily HLN, which states that there were “voices around the club” discussing Doku tests in the “coming hours and days,” even if Pep Guardiola refrained from commenting on the matter following Sunday’s game.
Although the study draws attention to Jeremy Doku’s past medical history and mentions his injury problems at Stade Rennes, it also emphasises how important it has been for City to keep him healthy thus far.
When Pep Guardiola addresses the reporters on Tuesday afternoon, he may give an update on Doku. Manchester City is wrapping up preparations for their trip to Villa Park to play Unai Emery’s fourth-place team.
