Manchester City is facing more injury concerns after three players picked up knocks during the international break. Kyle Walker, Matheus Nunes, and Manuel Akanji all suffered injuries, with Akanji not named in the Switzerland squad to face the Republic of Ireland. This comes as a blow to City as they prepare to face Arsenal in a crucial title race clash.

City manager Pep Guardiola will be hoping that Akanji’s injury is not serious and that he will be fit to face Arsenal.

Guardiola will be keeping a close eye on the fitness of his players ahead of the Arsenal clash, with the hope that all the injured players will be available for selection. However, the situation is becoming increasingly nervy as City’s defensive options are dwindling. The upcoming match against Arsenal is crucial for City’s title aspirations, and Guardiola will need all his players fit and available for selection.
