Double Winger Blow for Man City: Grealish and Doku Injured Ahead of Champions League Clash
Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku have both been ruled out of Manchester City’s Champions League encounter against Sparta Prague, which is a major blow to the team. Pep Guardiola’s team is suffering greatly as they continue their European campaign due to the absence of their two main wingers.
For Wednesday’s match at the Etihad Stadium, Grealish and Doku were both left off the roster. The team has confirmed that neither player is “fully fit.” Journalist Simon Bajkowski claims that Pep Guardiola stated that Grealish might miss up to ten days of action. The news regarding Doku, a Belgian winger who is facing a longer layoff, is more worrisome.
Manchester City’s Impact
Doku, who has started eight of his 11 games this season, has established himself as a vital member of City’s team. City’s assault has been aided by his explosive presence on the wing. Conversely, Grealish has made a substantial contribution as well, appearing in 10 games and starting six.
Phil Foden and Savio were asked to start on the wings with striker Erling Haaland for the game against Sparta Prague because both players were unable to play.
