However, Pep Guardiola has some injury concerns and will be without 4 first-team players for tomorrow’s match. Nathan Ake, Gabriel Jesus, Sergio Aguero and Benjamin Mendy are unavailable for the Manchester City this weekend.
Pep Guardiola has revealed that Ake is close to returning while Gabriel Jesus is expected to be back next week. Sergio Aguero, who returned from injury earlier this month, is expected to be on the sidelines for a few weeks.
The Argentine and Benjamin Mendy will return in 2-3 weeks as per the manager. Both players are pivotal to Pep Guardiola’s plans for the season, and their injuries have forced him to consider implementing a Plan B. Talking in the pre-game press conference, he said:
Manchester City thought about signing a striker in the transfer window
The manager recently revealed that the club did consider signing another striker in the summer transfer window, but it was not possible.
Manchester City were linked with Inter’s Lautaro Martinez, who was also a target for Barcelona. However, both sides failed to meet the asking price set by the Serie A side and the Argentine striker stayed put at the San Siro.
