Latest updates and expected return dates for John Stones, Jack Grealish, and Kevin De Bruyne, who are injured for Manchester City.
Since the start of the season, they have gone undefeated, although three of their most important players are still injured.
John Stones, Jack Grealish, and Kevin De Bruyne are all crucial players in Pep Guardiola’s strongest lineup, but they are all now out with injuries. The center-back’s return is imminent, and Grealish could make it this weekend. The Belgian, though, is in a different circumstance.
John Stones
The defender, who played the full match despite City losing the Community Shield due to a hip injury, has not yet represented City in the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola stated last month that Stones won’t return until after this international break, and assistant manager Juanma Lillo reinforced the center-back’s improvement in early September.
“[Stones] is more or less there, too,” he said. We’re all doing fine, fine. It lacks resolution.
Jack Grealish
The midfielder withdrew from the England team after suffering a thigh injury and missing Our City’s victory over Fulham before the international break.
It will be difficult for Jack to survive, but since I’m not a doctor, it will be challenging for me to explain, Lillo said before departing England.
City will be hoping Grealish recovers because West Ham is the next opponent in the league.
the Kevin De Bruyne
After just 23 minutes of City’s season-opening game against Burnley, the crucial midfielder sustained a severe hamstring injury.
It was the first time De Bruyne had played after being sidelined until at least January after being substituted in the Champions League final more than two months earlier.
Guardiola said Kevin was an important player last month. We haven’t lost him in a few weeks, but he’s been gone for four or five months. The 32-year-old needs to be extremely physically fit for the team because of how important his actions are.
