Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Fluminense

sportsmole.co.uk, 20 December 2023, 11:27
Manchester City will attempt to win the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time in their history when they lock horns with Fluminense in the final in Jeddah on Friday evening.

Pep Guardiola's side secured their spot in the showpiece event courtesy of a 3-0 victory over Urawa Red Diamonds in the semi-finals on Tuesday.

The Citizens are potentially just 90 minutes away from becoming the fourth English team to win the Club World Cup, but they will have to cope without the presence of a few key players against a Fluminense side who beat Al Ahly 2-0 in their last-four tie on Monday.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Fernando Diniz's side.

Kevin De Bruyne

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: December 27 (vs. Everton)

Kevin De Bruyne returned to first-team training on Monday for the first time since August, but the playmaker is yet to fully recover from his hamstring injury and is ineligible for Friday's final anyway due to tournament regulations after being left out of Guardiola's 23-man squad for the semi-finals.

Erling Haaland

Status: Out

Type of injury: Foot

Possible return date: December 27 (vs. Everton)

Erling Haaland has missed the last four matches in all competitions with a "bone stress reaction" in his foot and Guardiola has confirmed that the striker is still not ready to train, ruling him out of Friday's final. However, like De Bruyne, the Norwegian is ineligible for the showpiece event anyway due to tournament regulations after being left out of Guardiola's 23-man squad for the semi-finals.

Jeremy Doku

Status: Out

Type of injury: Muscle

Possible return date: December 27 (vs. Everton)

Jeremy Doku, who has been absent from City's last five matches with a muscle problem, is yet to return to first-team training and needs more time make a full recovery. Like De Bruyne and Haaland, the winger is also ineligible for Friday's final anyway due to tournament regulations after being left out of Guardiola's 23-man squad for the semi-finals.

MANCHESTER CITY'S SUSPENSION LIST

Manchester City have no suspended players for this match.
