Manchester City has been dealing with a fresh injury setback ahead of Sunday’s Premier League showdown with Manchester United. Omar Marmash was forced to withdraw from Egypt’s World Cup qualifying match against Burkina Faso.
Just nine minutes after the encounter, the striker grabbed his knee and seemed to be feeling quite a bit of pain on the pitch. He was then replaced and Pep Guardiola waited worriedly to find out if the forwards would be available to him. So far, Marmoush has played in all three Premier League matches for the Citizens. After being selected to the bench against the Wolves on the first day, the 26-year-old began his final two games, helping him in his defeat to Brighton.
The city is currently suffering from injuries to Mateo Kovasic, Josco Gvaldior, Marcus Bettinelli and Calvin Phillips.
Meanwhile, there are concerns about the fitness of Sabigno, Abdukodil Kusanov, Rico Lewis, Rayan Ait Noli, Nico O’Reilly, John Stones and Phil Foden.
