Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has provided Injury update for Phil Foden after he was not among Manchester City Squad today
When Manchester City hosts Luton Town in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, they will be putting the Champions League out of their thoughts.
The Blues fought to a dramatic midweek draw with Real Madrid, and they will be confident in front of their supporters to complete the task and go to the competition’s semifinals. They have to greet the Hatters, who are in danger of relegation, at the Etihad Stadium before they can consider that possibility.
In addition to dealing with a few injury concerns before to the match, Pep Guardiola will surely be keeping a close watch on Los Blancos while choosing his starting lineup. However, given how close the Premier League championship battle is, City cannot afford to undervalue their opponents this weekend.
Phil Foden’s leg injury
What Guardiola said: The Catalan manager clarified right away after the match in Madrid that he had taken City’s midfielder off as a precaution. However, he declined to say if Foden would be ready this weekend.
Potential comeback date: Luton Town on April 13.
Injury to Kevin De Bruyne: Illness
What Guardiola said: De Bruyne’s late sickness prevented him from playing against Real Madrid. When asked whether he had overcome it for Saturday, Guardiola remained silent.
Potential comeback date: Luton Town on April 13.
Rodri’s injury: exhaustion
Guardiola stated: “I didn’t talk to him, but he will take a break if he needs one. Or not. I’m not sure. It is more about using mental energy than it is about the physique. Every three days, for three days, playing. Having played a lot of minutes, he is obviously exhausted. Rodri has great significance for us, and tomorrow we will choose our course of action. A player will not play if he is not motivated to do so. Easy. There will be another player. It is possible for him to get tired and for another player to step in.”
