Man City vs Man Utd TEAM NEWS: The 8 injury worries heading into Manchester derby
On Sunday, the Premier League resumes play after the recent international break with a matchup between Manchester City and Manchester United.Infomation Guide Nigeria
It is the opening game of an event-filled schedule for both teams between now and the World Cup in late November.
However, the most recent round of international matches has introduced some additional problems, so Pep Guardiola and Erik ten Hag will enter Sunday’s encounter with a number of injury concerns.
Below we’ve rounded up the latest on both City and United’s injury concerns as the derby looms ever closer…
Martin Dubravka
Withdrew early from international duty owing to an injury and was not seen in the most recent batch of photos from United training, which showed four United goalkeepers in action.
Aymeric Laporte
Guardiola stated earlier this month that Laporte could return after the international break, and he was back in full-contact training prior to the brief pause in the club season.
Anthony Martial
This season, he has only played 45 minutes for United due to an Achilles injury. There has been no update during the international break, and the forward is a major doubt for the derby.
Harry Maguire
Was seen limping after England’s match on Monday, and was clearly in pain during the final stages of Germany’s 3-3 tie. Meanwhile, the Daily Star reports that Maguire will be out for two weeks due to injury.Jamb Result
Kavin Phillips
Guardiola stated prior to the international break that the summer signing was scheduled to have surgery on a recurring shoulder issue. There has been no official update since then, though The Sun’s Martin Blackburn reports that the operation took place. Regardless, Phillips will not be playing at the Etihad this weekend.
Marcus Rashford
The forward has missed the last two United games due to injury and was also left out of the recent England squad as a result. According to The Sun, Rashford is ‘winning his battle to be fit‘ and is back in training.
John Stones
The City center-back, like Maguire, was injured while representing England on Monday and appeared to be holding his hamstring. Walker took his place in the starting lineup.
Donny van de Beek
Injury forced him to miss United’s last three games, and he was missing from the team’s most recent photos of him working out. Even if the midfielder is in perfect physical condition, it is doubtful that he will be chosen for the starting lineup.
