Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has provided Injury update for Phil Foden after he was not among Manchester City Squad today
When Manchester City plays Luton Town in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, they won’t be thinking about the Champions League.
Last week, Chelsea and Real Madrid played to an exciting draw. They will be confident in front of their fans to finish the job and move on to the semi-finals of the tournament. Before they can think about that possibility, they have to host the Hatters, who are in danger of going down, at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola has to deal with a few injuries before the game, and he will definitely keep an eye on Real Madrid as he chooses his team. But City can’t be too confident about their opponents this weekend, especially since the race for the Premier League title is so close.
Phil Foden hurt his leg.
What Guardiola said: The Catalan manager wouldn’t say for sure if Foden would be ready this weekend, but right after the game in Madrid, he said that he took the City player off as a precaution last week.
A possible return date is April 13 against Luton Town.
Injury to Kevin De Bruyne: Illness
What Guardiola said: De Bruyne missed the game against Real because he got sick late before the game. When asked if he was ready for Saturday, Guardiola wouldn’t say.
A possible return date is April 13 against Luton Town.
Fatigue was Rodri’s injury.
What Guardiola said: “I didn’t talk to him, but he will rest if he needs to.” Or no. I’m not sure. Going through the motions is more of a mental exercise. Three times a week, three weeks. Of course he’s tired from playing for so long. Rodri is very important to us, and we’ll choose what to do tomorrow. A player won’t play if he doesn’t want to. Plain and simple. There will be another one. It could happen if he’s too tired, and another player will play.
