Manchester City will be missing seven players, including Phil Foden, John Stones, Nathan Aké, and Mateo Kovačić, for their Premier League clash against Crystal Palace on Matchday 15.
Details: City head coach Pep Guardiola confirmed the absence of several key players ahead of Saturday’s game.
Foden continues to recover from bronchitis, while Stones, Aké, and Kovačić remain sidelined due to injuries.
This adds to the Cityzens’ ongoing injury crisis, which has significantly affected their form. Despite breaking their winless streak with a 3-0 victory against Nottingham Forest, they have only one win in their last eight matches—a situation that has led to speculation about potential January signings.
Reminder: Crystal Palace will host Manchester City at Selhurst Park on Saturday, December 7, 2024, in Premier League Matchday 15. Fans can find viewing details through reliable sports broadcasting platforms.
Keep in mind:
Guardiola’s squad faces continued challenges with fitness and availability, increasing the pressure on the remaining players to deliver results.
City’s performance against Crystal Palace could set the tone for the rest of their busy December fixtures.
How Guardiola handles this crisis tactically will be key to maintaining their title aspirations amidst significant absences.
