Omar Marmoush Injury: Ruled out Sunday

Marmoush (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's derby against Manchester United, the club announced and will return to Manchester for more assessment.

Marmoush suffered a knee ligament bruise in Tuesday's game against Burkina Faso, and initial scan results in Egypt indicate he will not be available for the Manchester derby on Sunday. He will now return to Manchester for further assessment and to begin his rehabilitation. This is a big blow for Manchester City since he is a regular starter in the frontline, and his absence will lead to a change in the starting XI with Jeremy Doku or Phil Foden as possible replacements until he returns.
