Rico Lewis replaced Ake and performed well during the rest of the match, hinting at a possible increased role in the upcoming games.

Pep Guardiola confirmed in a press conference that Nathan Ake will not be available for the next game against Aston Villa and potentially for more matches in the near future.

Following the Aston Villa game, Manchester City will face Crystal Palace before heading to play Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

The team will also have to navigate a Premier League match against Luton Town in between the Champions League fixtures, with hopes of having key players like Kyle Walker, Ederson, and Nathan Ake back in action.
