‘Great news!’, ‘we need everyone back ASAP’ – Man City fans react as club get a huge fitness boost ahead of Arsenal clash

Manchester City has been handed a huge boost in their bid to beat Arsenal when both clubs meet later this month.

Arsenal’s draw at Liverpool means the Gunners are just 6 points clear of City at the top of the league table and that will become three if the Citizens win their outstanding game.

Both clubs will meet at the end of this month and it could be the game that decides who wins the title.

A report in The Sun reveals Phil Foden is set to be fit for that encounter in a major boost for the Citizens.

The Englishman has been out following surgery to remove his appendix and the report says he would have made a full recovery when both clubs meet.

The news was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

@MCFC_Buckers: “Great news! Come on blues!”

@CristosSeasalt: “Great news…we need more depth on the bench”

@beingeric1: “we need everyone back ASAP”

@Conway1002: “This weekend keeps getting better. Great news”

@mancity_talk: “Good news. Fingers crossed we’re lucky with injuries. This made me think (I know it’s a few weeks away yet) but does Erling start against Sheffield Utd with Arsenal a few days later? It’s an FA cup semi at Wembley, but Arsenal is huge. Although anything could happen in the meantime”

@JPJoker01: “Man I’d love him back soon but I really don’t want him rushing himself back after surgery like that”
