Man City vs Liverpool Injury News
Man City has defender John Stones missing through a muscular injury that kept him out of the England international set-up as well. Another center-back who could be missing for the clash at the Etihad is Nathan Ake, who was withdrawn from the Netherlands squad with an unspecified injury. City Midfielders Mateo Kovacic from Croatia and Matheus Nunes from Portugal could be missing too with muscle injuries.
Manchester City also continue to be without their midfield talisman Kevin De Bruyne, who went down with a hamstring injury in the opening game of the season. Perhaps City’s greatest injury woe at the moment will be the fitness of striker Erling Haaland, who suffered an ankle injury during Norway’s recent win over the Faroe Islands and has withdrawn from the international squad since.
On the other side, Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate’s availability for the Manchester City clash is a doubt with a slight hamstring issue. Joe Gomez was absent from the Liverpool team that recorded a 3-0 victory over Brentford and is still a doubt for the City game.
