Man City Team News vs Brentford FC: Nathan Ake, Savio, Phil Foden
What a bummer for Nathan Ake and Manchester City. Just an awful, awful development this international period. Ake had to be stretchered off last night, after suffering a serious injury in the thigh/hamstring area during the Netherlands 2-2 draw with Germany. See this is why clubs hate international breaks so much. Nathan Ake was visibly in tears, as he was no doubt in a … [Read more...] about Man City Team News vs Brentford FC: Nathan Ake, Savio, Phil Foden
Manchester City Injury Updates: Phil Foden, Oscar Bobb, Savio
The Saudi Pro League transfer window has now officially closed, so that puts an end to any speculation of Ederson and/or Kevin De Bruyne leaving this season. That was kind of already settled, awhile ago, but you just never know with the silly season. Plus, it's international break so we need SOMETHING to talk about. And what we'll talk about here is the Man City fitness … [Read more...] about Manchester City Injury Updates: Phil Foden, Oscar Bobb, Savio
Manchester City Starting XI Prediction at West Ham United
Manchester City visits West Ham United on Saturday, and it'll be the next edition in what has been a very lopsided series. Since Pep Guardiola took control of Man City in 2016 they have never lost a league fixture to the Hammers. In fact, the only victory by the East Londoners, during the Pep era, came in the 2021-22 League Cup, and they needed penalties to get there. Things … [Read more...] about Manchester City Starting XI Prediction at West Ham United
Man City Team News at West Ham: Rodri, Phil Foden, Mateo Kovacic
Erling Haaland gets all the headlines, with Kevin De Bruyne not too far behind him, in this regard, but Rodri is the sparkplug that makes the Manchester City engine roar. The midfield maestro is just as important to City's success as Haaland, De Bruyne, Ruben Dias, Phil Foden etc. Due to match fitness issues Rodri has not featured yet this season, so he is thus a doubt for … [Read more...] about Man City Team News at West Ham: Rodri, Phil Foden, Mateo Kovacic
Man City Team News vs Wolves: Ederson, Phil Foden, Ruben Dias
The injury bug has all of a sudden bit Manchester City, and the bite is pretty deep. City will now be without their top goalkeeper, Ederson, this weekend. They could be without their top defender, arguably, in Ruben Dias as well as their top wing player/attacking midfielder in Phil Foden. Let's start with Ederson, who suffered a shoulder injury this past weekend. "It doesn't … [Read more...] about Man City Team News vs Wolves: Ederson, Phil Foden, Ruben Dias
Man City Team News vs Luton Town: Foden, Ake, De Bruyne, Walker
Phil Foden has been one of Manchester City's greatest heroes this season, but he is now an injury doubt for Saturday's Premier League fixture against Luton Town. Foden hobbled off at the 87' during City's thrilling 3-3 UEFA Champions League clash versus Real Madrid Tuesday night. Foden was noticeably in pain, due to a minor leg injury that required medical treatment that on … [Read more...] about Man City Team News vs Luton Town: Foden, Ake, De Bruyne, Walker
Man City Starting XI Prediction for Manchester Derby
Erling Haaland broke out of his mini-slump, I guess you could call it. When you're Haaland, and you can score at will, and you play for treble winning Man City, well, these are standards now. We'll see if Erik ten Hag can contain him with Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof, Raphael Varane or whomever the Dutchman tries to throw at the best pure scorer on … [Read more...] about Man City Starting XI Prediction for Manchester Derby
Man City Team News at United: Foden, Alvarez, Akanji
Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez missed out on Manchester City's 2-1 win over Young Boys in the UEFA Champions League last night, due to some unspecified, and probably less than serious fitness issues. Pep Guardiola admitted as much after the match. "We played seven new players because some were tired," said the Manchester City manager. "Phil had a little problem, Julian could … [Read more...] about Man City Team News at United: Foden, Alvarez, Akanji
