Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, was visibly emotional and teary-eyed as another crucial City player suffered an injury during the recent match against Tottenham. This unfortunate incident has left Manchester City fans deeply saddened, as the severity of the injury suggests it could potentially mark the end of the player’s career.

Manchester City might face the absence of Jeremy Doku in their upcoming Wednesday game against Aston Villa, as the winger seemed to sustain an injury during the match against Tottenham.

Initially starting ahead of Jack Grealish on Sunday, Doku had a significant impact against Tottenham’s challenging tactics. However, his influence waned in the second half, and he was substituted after 52 minutes.

The 21-year-old left the field limping, presenting a desolate demeanor as Grealish replaced him. Manchester City is set to visit Villa Park on Wednesday, marking the second match out of three within a busy holiday fixture list.

Prior to the game, Roy Keane noted Doku’s indispensable role, mentioning Pep Guardiola’s dissatisfaction with Grealish’s recent performances and praising Doku’s distinctive style and fitness.

Both Doku and Grealish might find themselves on the bench for the Wednesday encounter due to receiving their fifth yellow cards against Tottenham. Grealish halted a free-kick by booting the ball away, while Rodri was booked for a foul on Pedro Porro during a counter-attack.

Expressing concern during commentary at the Etihad, Jamie Carragher highlighted the difficulty City might face in the upcoming game without the services of the suspended duo. He remarked, “Aston Villa is a tough game even with a full team, and now Rodri and Jack Grealish are out.”
