Man City hit by ANOTHER injury blow just days before Liverpool showdown

Manchester City suffered a great injury after John Stones was forced in the eighth minute of their Champions League match against Real Madrid of their Champions League match.

The replacement of the international of England came just after Kylian Mbappe scored on Wednesday with a chip goal above Ederson on Wednesday.

The men of Pep Guardiola were hit by a new blow only four days before their crucial match against Liverpool in the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

The Spaniard has already arrived with an injury hit band in Santiago Bernabeu when he left the citizen's striker Erling Haaland on the couch after his discomfort against Newcastle last week.

Prior to the game, Guardiola said: '[Erling Haaland is] Not far away, was close but not enough. He trained a bit yesterday, but we spoke this morning this morning and he said he doesn't feel right, so another one.

'Of course Erling is extremely important to us, you don't have to be a manager to realize, but it is what it is, during the seasons we happen to this season in many cases and it could not be otherwise today. '

In his absence, the new signing of City Omar Marmoush has taken over the No. 9 position, in addition to another newcomer, Nico Gonzalez, who makes his Champions League debut for the Manchester side.

Although the stones injury still has to be confirmed, the Englishman has already missed 16 games this season due to various inconveniences.

Guardiola will be without various important players for the upcoming match against Liverpool, such as Rodri – which is expected to be set aside for the rest of the campaign – and Manuel Akanji, was replaced during the first stage against Madrid in the Etihad Stadium.

Oscar BobB is also not available for the ruling Premier League champions, while the Norwegian attacker continues to recover from breaking a bone in his leg during a training session prior to the start of the season.
