There are still some concerns to address, but the return of Jonny Evans, Wesley Fofana, and Timothy Castagne right before the international break is a huge help for a defence that has struggled all season. They’re all in the running for a starting spot at Manchester United.
Below is a complete list of City’s injured players, as well as what Brendan Rodgers has said about them and when they might return, as well as the latest on those who have recently returned to the team.
LUKE THOMAS
The youthful left-back is the most recent addition to the list. Over the international break, he started one of England’s two European Championship qualifying victories, but was sent back to City before the other after picking up an injury.
He’ll struggle for the weekend, Rodgers remarked during his press conference ahead of the United encounter. He had a problem with his hamstring. They looked at it with England, but decided he wouldn’t be ready for the second game, so he was sent back to continue his rehab here.
- Injury- Hamstring
- Status- Not Serious
- Return- Next Week
JAMIE VARDY
The striker suffered a knee injury in the win over Leeds United, which came after a hamstring ailment forced him to miss time. In total, he has only started one game and appeared as a replacement in 2022. However, there is hope that he will be able to return shortly.
What Rodgers said at his press conference this week: They’ll see day by day, Rodgers added. He’s certainly not ready for the weekend. Team ’ll assess it over the next week to two weeks.
