Pep Guardiola is grappling with severe injury issues at Manchester City, and a new update regarding Manuel Akanji has emerged.Manchester City

experienced an injury concern prior to their most recent Carabao Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur. Manuel Akanji was excluded from the starting lineup due to a suspected injury sustained during the warm-up.In the end, the Blues were defeated 2-1, and Savinho was added to City’s extensive injury list after being stretchered off in the second half. Pep Guardiola addressed Akanji’s issue following the game, stating that the defender experienced a muscular sensation and was advised not to take a risk. A new update has been disclosed regarding the Switzerland international’s fitness, as City prepares to resume Premier League play with an away match against Bournemouth on Saturday.

Manuel Akanji’s injury update is disclosed by a journalist. Sky Sports journalist Anton Toloui shared a post on his X account on Wednesday, following his absence against Spurs, in which he disclosed what Akanji had disclosed regarding his injury status in anticipation of the Premier League match at Bournemouth on Saturday.He stated, “Earlier, I had the opportunity to converse with Manuel Akanji, a defender for #ManCity, for @SkySportsNews.” He anticipates returning to training tomorrow and being prepared for Bournemouth on Saturday. “Akanji withdrew from the Spurs game due to a groin strain that he experienced during the warm-up.” Upon Akanji’s availability, Guardiola will be crossing his fingers. The 29-year-old has featured in 12 of the 15 games that City have played across all competitions this season, starting all 12.


It is reasonable to presume that Guardiola will be eager to ensure that Akanji is available and healthy for the Premier League match against the Cherries this weekend, given his status as a prominent member of the squad. Premier League B’mouth Saturday, November 2nd 15:00 Manchester City Brighton Premier League Saturday, November 9th 17:30 Manchester City Manchester City Premier League Saturday, November 23rd 17:30 Tottenham Premier League Liverpool Sunday, December 1st 6:00 p.m Manchester City Wednesday, December 4th Premier League Manchester City 19:30 Forest of Nottm This should provide some level of comfort to the City manager and supporters during this period of significant injury setbacks, as the centre-back has informed Toloui that he aspires to participate in Friday’s training session and be considered for a role at Bournemouth. In addition to that game, City has several critical league matches to play before the Christmas period of fixtures. Consequently, Guardiola will require the fitness of as many players as possible.
