SAD NEWS has been announced for Manchester City Rayan Aït-Nouri is expected to be out for approximately 4 weeks, almost one month
Manchester City are growing increasingly concerned about the fitness of left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, who suffered an ankle injury during their 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. Ait-Nouri, who was making his first start for City at the Etihad Stadium, twisted his left ankle in the 15th minute while closing down Spurs attacker Mohammed Kudus. Despite attempting to continue playing, Ait-Nouri’s discomfort became apparent, and he was eventually substituted in the 23rd minute, replaced by Nathan Ake.
*Ait-Nouri’s Injury Worries:*
– *Ankle Injury:* Ait-Nouri’s ankle injury has raised concerns about his availability for City’s next Premier League fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion on August 31.
– *Uncertainty:* Manager Pep Guardiola was unable to provide an update on Ait-Nouri’s condition after the match, stating that he hadn’t spoken with the team’s doctor.
*Injury Update:*
Ait-Nouri’s injury adds to a growing list of players in the City treatment room, including Josko Gvardiol, Savinho, Mateo Kovacic, Kalvin Phillips, and Marcus Bettinelli. However, Gvardiol is nearing a return to action after participating in team training earlier this week.
*Upcoming Fixtures:*
The injury news comes at a crucial time for City, with key fixtures against Brighton, Manchester United, and Arsenal looming. City will face Brighton on August 31, followed by the Manchester derby against United on September 14, and then a trip to Arsenal a week later. These matches will be a significant test for City’s squad depth and Guardiola’s tactical acumen.
