Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has not confirmed whether Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden will be fit to play against Luton on Saturday. De Bruyne suffered from food poisoning before the Real Madrid game, while Foden had a dead leg and was taken off during the match. Although both players participated in the warm-down after the game, it is unlikely they will be risked ahead of the second leg against Real Madrid next week. However, there is a possibility that one or both players could be on the bench for the match against Luton.
The expected return date for De Bruyne and Foden is Saturday, April 13th, against Luton Town. Guardiola has not provided any definitive information on their availability, leaving fans and opponents in suspense. The decision to include them in the match against Luton will depend on their fitness and readiness to play, as City prepares for a crucial second leg against Real Madrid. City will need to carefully manage their squad to ensure they have their key players fit and ready for the important fixture.
Despite De Bruyne and Foden participating in the warm-down after the Real Madrid game, Guardiola may opt to keep them out of the match against Luton in order to ensure they are fully fit for the upcoming games. The possibility of one or both players being on the bench offers a glimmer of hope for City fans, but Guardiola will ultimately make the decision based on the players’ health and the team’s needs. The return date against Luton will be a key moment for City as they navigate a busy schedule and important matches.
