Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola has revealed that winger Jeremy Doku has picked up a muscular injury ahead of his side’s Premier League tie with Liverpool on Sunday.
Guardiola didn’t include Doku in Man City’s match-day squad for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League last 16 win against FC Copenhagen on Wednesday night.
Man City will travel to Anfield this weekend for what could be the biggest game of their season, with the sides separated by just one point at the top of the Premier League table.
A win against the Reds would put them top and surely make them clear favourites for the title ahead of Liverpool and Arsenal, respectively.
But they may be without Doku, whose absence for the Copenhagen match was explained by Guardiola before kick-off:
“He had some muscular problems so we did not want to take the risk,” he said.
Doku missed eight matches last December with a muscle injury.
