Brightonvs.Man City

sportsmole.co.uk, 22 April 2024, 08:17
Having experienced the highs and lows of knockout football, Manchester City return to Premier League matters with a trip to Brighton & Hove Albion on Thursday evening.

After losing their grip on the Champions League crown against Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, Pep Guardiola's side made the FA Cup showpiece thanks to a 1-0 win over a wasteful Chelsea on Saturday.

While revelling in their Wembley exploits, the Premier League champions - who will face Manchester United in a repeat of last year's FA Cup final - have slipped to third in the table behind Liverpool and Arsenal, but their title fate still lies in their own hands.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their trip to Brighton, who are smack-bang in the middle of the table in 10th spot.

Erling Haaland

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Muscle

Possible return date: April 25 (vs. Brighton)

After being forced to leave the field against Real Madrid with some "niggles", Erling Haaland was absent from the squad for the FA Cup semi-final. Guardiola admitted at Wembley that he was not sure if the Golden Boot winner would be back for Brighton, but he ought to provide another update when he faces the media later this week.

MANCHESTER CITY'S SUSPENSION LIST

Manchester City have no suspended players for this match.
