Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that four key players will be unavailable for their upcoming Premier League fixture against Southampton this weekend. Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, Jeremy Doku, and Jack Grealish are all set to miss the match due to injuries.
De Bruyne, City’s star midfielder, remains sidelined with a groin injury sustained during their Champions League draw with Inter Milan last month. His absence has been a significant blow to City’s midfield dynamics. Walker, Doku, and Grealish also remain out, further limiting Guardiola’s options as City looks to maintain their position in the league standings.
Guardiola will likely need to make tactical adjustments in response to the absences of these influential players. With De Bruyne and Grealish out, midfield creativity and forward play will rely on players like Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, and possibly Julian Alvarez to step up. The absence of Walker also puts added responsibility on defenders to maintain City’s strong defensive structure.
City fans and EPL followers are keenly watching Guardiola’s next moves as the team faces a crucial point in the season, where depth and adaptability may determine their title race momentum.
