Pep Guardiola provides Manchester City injury update ahead of Wolves clash – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has provided an injury update ahead of the Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers tomorrow.
The Cityzens recently sealed a 2-1 win over West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium and they have now won a stunning 20 games on the bounce in all competitions.
Up next, they face the challenge from Wolverhampton Wanderers, who have proved a tricky opposition for them over the past few seasons.
Ahead of the game, Guardiola provided an injury update where he confirmed that there are no fresh concerns from the recent victory over the Hammers.
However, he added that Nathan Ake will continue to remain on the sidelines as he continues to work his way back to fitness after a long-term hamstring injury.
“Everything is fine. Except Nathan, the rest of the players are fine,” He told Mancity.com.
Since the Wolves’ return to the top-flight in 2018, the Cityzens have faced them on five occasions and have been on the winning side only twice.
The west Midlands outfit did the double over them last season and Adama Traore was the main catalyst behind the victories with three goals and one assist.
The ex-Barcelona graduate will be in contention to face the Cityzens tomorrow but they are now in a better defensive shape with the form of John Stones and Ruben Dias.
The duo have formed a superb partnership at the heart of the defence and have kept regular clean sheets over the past few months.
The Cityzens will go 13 points clear at the top of the league standings, should they beat Nuno Espirito Santo’s side at the Etihad.
