Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola broke down in tears as another Key Manchester City player goes off injured during Training this morning, a very sad moment for Man City fans as the injury seems to be a career ending injury
Today is the first time since 2024 that Manchester City has been back to the Etihad Stadium. On Sunday, they host Huddersfield Town in the FA Cup.
The team led by Pep Guardiola has fond memories of the game from last year, when they beat Manchester United at Wembley. That win was their second of the year and put them well on track for a unique Treble.
The Terriers are stopping them from making it to the fourth round this year. This is the second level, and Darren Moore’s team is having a hard time. They are just above the fall zone. Even though City is the favourite, they are worried about a few injuries before the game. MEN Sport has put together the latest news from the dressing room.
