Two players remain under an injury cloud for Manchester City ahead of their clash with Crystal Palace

Simon Bajkowski reported for the Manchester Evening News that Abdukodir Khusanov missed City’s crucial win over Brentford due to ‘a knock in a painful area’. Nathan Ake replaced Khusanov in the City starting lineup against Brentford and performed superbly well on Saturday. It is hoped that Khusanov’s injury isn’t serious as Manchester City need his pace and strength at the back.

Outside of Rodri and Khusanov, Manchester City have a fit squad to choose from.

The fitness of Rodri and Abdukodir Khusanov is the only injury concern that Manchester City has ahead of their clash with Crystal Palace. Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias are both back in training, so Pep Guardiola has a plethora of options to select for a game his team has to win on Wednesday night. It is hoped that Rodri and Abdukodir Khusanov are available for Wednesday night’s match to give Pep Guardiola a full squad to choose from. It would also give Guardiola more options to choose from, given that City has the FA Cup final on Saturday against Chelsea, and if Guardiola can rotate his squad against Crystal Palace, it may aid City’s bid to beat Chelsea at Wembley.

Manchester City appear to have two players under an injury cloud in Rodri and Abdukodir Khusanov ahead of their clash with Crystal Palace. A further update on their condition should arrive when Pep Guardiola faces the media later today.
