Man Cityvs.Feyenoord

sportsmole.co.uk, 24 November 2024, 07:30
Reeling from their latest and undoubtedly their most humiliating setback yet, Manchester City have many wrongs to right in Tuesday's Champions League clash with Feyenoord at the Etihad.

The buzz from Pep Guardiola's recent contract extension wore off over the course of 90 minutes on Saturday evening, when the reigning Premier League champions were annihilated 4-0 at home by Tottenham Hotspur.

That scarcely believable battering marked a fifth straight loss across all competitions for the Citizens, a sequence that includes an equally pitiful 4-1 defeat to Sporting Lisbon on Champions League matchday four.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Feyenoord, who have collected six points from their opening four UCL games of the season to sit 21st in the standings.

Rodri

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Rodri had a reason to smile on Saturday evening, as he was presented with his Ballon d'Or award prior to kickoff, but the Spaniard is still months away from coming back from an ACL injury.

Oscar Bobb

Status: Out

Type of injury: Leg fracture

Possible return date: January 4 (vs. West Ham United)

Similarly, Oscar Bobb will not play again in 2024 due to the leg fracture he sustained over the summer, but Guardiola is expecting him to be back in the ranks in either January or February.

Ruben Dias

Status: Out

Type of injury: Calf

Possible return date: December 4 (vs. Nottingham Forest)

Ruben Dias is not expected to make this game or the showdown with Liverpool next weekend due to his calf problem, but the Portuguese is targeting a return at some point in December.

Jeremy Doku

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Thigh

Possible return date: November 26 (vs. Feyenoord)

Jeremy Doku's quadriceps problem kept him out of Saturday's showdown with Spurs, and the Belgian attacker will need to be assessed before Tuesday's game to determine his availability.

Mateo Kovacic

Status: Out

Type of injury: Unspecified

Possible return date: December 21 (vs. Aston Villa)

Guardiola revealed on Friday that Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovacic had entered the treatment room with an unspecified issue, and he is unlikely to be back before Christmas time.
