- Manchester City’s injury list continues to grow, posing major concerns ahead of key fixtures. Here’s the latest on three vital players:
Rodri – Season Over
ACL Setback: Rodri’s ACL injury from September has ruled him out for the remainder of the season.
World Cup Doubt: A return for the Club World Cup is highly unlikely.
Key Loss: His absence leaves a significant gap in City’s midfield.
Nathan Ake – Race Against Time
Foot Fracture: Out for two months after foot surgery.
Partial Training: He’s back in limited training but remains a doubt for the May 17 clash with Crystal Palace.
John Stones – Recovery Ongoing
Thigh Problem: Sidelined since the Champions League loss to Real Madrid.
Slow Progress: Pep Guardiola says he’s improving, but his return date remains uncertain.
These injuries could heavily influence City’s title chase and season finale.
