Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has provided Injury update for Phil Foden after he was not among Manchester City Squad today
Manchester City will put the Champions League out of their thoughts on Saturday afternoon when they visit Luton Town in the Premier League.
The Blues drew thrillingly with Real Madrid in midweek and will be confident in front of their supporters to complete the job and advance to the competition’s semi-finals. Before they can worry about that, they must welcome the relegation-threatened Hatters to the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola has a few injury concerns ahead of the game, and he will undoubtedly consider Los Blancos when deciding on his selection. However, City cannot afford to overlook this weekend’s opponents, particularly with the Premier League championship race so close.
Phil Foden’s injury is to his leg.
What Guardiola has said: The Catalan manager hesitated to clarify whether Foden would be available this weekend, but revealed immediately after the game in Madrid that he had taken the City midfielder off as a precaution in midweek.
Potential comeback date: April 13 vs Luton Town.
Kevin De Bruyne suffered an illness.
What Guardiola said: De Bruyne missed the game against Real Madrid owing to a pre-match sickness. Guardiola declined to say if he had overcome it for Saturday.
Potential comeback date: April 13 vs Luton Town.
Rodri sustained a fatigue-related injury.
Guardiola said, “I did not talk with him, but if he needs a break, he will get it. Or no. I do not know. It is a situation of devoting mental energy in addition to physical effort. Playing every three days. Of course, he’s fatigued after playing so many minutes. Rodri is really important to us, and we will determine what we need to do tomorrow. If a player does not want to play, he will not play. Simple. Another one will play. If he is fatigued, it is possible that another player will play.
