Pep Guardiola provides an injury update for Man City’s match against West Ham, stating that “He trained better.

“Pep Guardiola does not anticipate that any additional players will be returning to the field to face West Ham.

 

 

Kyle Walker and Jack Grealish were reinstated to the matchday squad at Leicester to mitigate the absences, which had reached eight on Boxing Day.

 

 

However, there are still several notable players who are absent. Although Matheus Nunes was not definitively ruled out, the West Ham game on Saturday is likely to be too soon for any additional players to return.

 

 

City’s manager stated that Ruben Dias is “improving” and that Ederson had “trained better” this week, as he experienced his first training session without leg discomfort in some time. Nevertheless, it is anticipated that neither will be able to return in time.

 

 

John Stones has been sidelined since being substituted at Aston Villa before Christmas due to a recurrence of his foot injury, while Rodri and Oscar Bobb are both long-term injuries. There are no recent injuries to be apprehensive about.

 

 

For the first time since October, Guardiola’s team is seeking back-to-back victories; however, the coach did not indicate that there were significant updates to the Premier League victory over Leicester. Nevertheless, City may still capitalize on it by successfully employing it against West Ham.

 

 

 

“It’s just a game that we didn’t play in our best level,” according to him. “We prevailed because football occasionally behaves in such a manner.” We performed better in other contests, but we were unable to secure a victory.

 

 

 

It is beneficial for one’s disposition; however, we are not yet at our most consistent in terms of outcomes. We have the chance to secure another victory against West Ham, which will be beneficial for our future.
