Man City received a series of sad news before the big war with Arsenal

After a series of national team matches, Man City had to receive a series of unhappy information. Notably, they are preparing to enter a big battle with Arsenal this weekend.

Arsenal faces a nightmare schedule in April


The national team match series in March 2024 could bring many disasters to Man City. In total, they had to accept 3 stars in defense with different injuries.


Defender Kyle Walker hurt his hamstring after only 19 minutes on the field in the match against Brazil and was quickly returned to the club. Center-back Manuel Akanji was also absent from the match between Switzerland and the Republic of Ireland.


And the latest is John Stones. This midfielder was injured in the match between England and Belgium in the early morning of Wednesday (March 27). The 29-year-old was replaced by Liverpool's Joe Gomez after just 10 minutes of play... due to a right ankle injury.

Stones' situation is still unknown, but the possibility of him recovering in time for the match against Arsenal this weekend is not much. Meanwhile, Walker and Akanji's ability to play is also open.


Before the national team series, Man City lost goalkeeper Ederson and midfielder Kevin de Bruyne to injury. While De Bruyne may return soon, Ederson is likely to be out for quite a while.


Man City only has quite optimistic information: striker Erling Haaland can start in two friendly matches of the Norwegian national team. Before that, he was injured during the first training sessions with the national team. However, Haaland has not scored any goals in the past two matches and even missed a penalty kick in the match against Slovakia early this morning.


Man City will welcome Arsenal at Etihad Stadium in an extremely important match in round 30 of the 2023/24 Premier League. The defending champions are currently ranked 3rd on the rankings but are only 1 point behind the top team, the Gunners.
