The availability of Jeremy Doku for Manchester City’s upcoming match against Liverpool remains uncertain.
The former Rennes midfielder, who has been praised as “amazing” by Philippe Albert, was sidelined for the Champions League clash against Copenhagen due to muscular issues, as confirmed by Pep Guardiola. Additionally, Matheus Nunes suffered a significant finger injury during the same game.
Liverpool, on the other hand, is dealing with its own set of challenges, particularly the absence of Alisson Becker, which is a major setback for the team. However, Caoimhin Kelleher has been stepping up admirably in goal in Alisson’s absence.
Despite the setbacks, there are some positive developments for Liverpool. Dominik Szoboszlai and Mo Salah are expected to play crucial roles in midfield and attack, respectively.
Both players were seen participating in team training and have traveled with the squad for the Europa League fixture against Sparta Prague.
There is optimism that they will be fit to feature in the highly anticipated match against Manchester City at Anfield.
It is evident that both teams are grappling with injury concerns, but Liverpool’s issues appear to be more severe in comparison.
The absence of key players like Alisson Becker poses a significant challenge for Liverpool, although they have a capable replacement in Kelleher.
Meanwhile, Manchester City will need to assess the fitness of Jeremy Doku and deal with Matheus Nunes’ injury as they prepare for the crucial clash against their rivals.
