US EditionMan City Playmaker Rayan Cherki to Miss 2 Months with Injury and Out of France Squad
Rayan Cherki's quadriceps tear sidelines him for about 10 matches, affecting Manchester City's attacking options during a challenging fixture schedule, Guardiola confirmed.
- Pep Guardiola confirmed after the Brighton defeat that Rayan Cherki, Manchester City summer signing from Lyon, will be out for two months due to a 'quadriceps tear' reported by France's official social media.
- City have slipped into a worrying run after a second consecutive league defeat on Sunday, leaving Guardiola's side facing a testing fixture schedule against Manchester United, Napoli and Arsenal with confidence under strain, though Guardiola last week insisted his team will `do a good season`.
- Cherki will miss key upcoming matches, including Manchester City's games against Manchester United, Arsenal, and Champions League fixtures against Napoli and Monaco, with France replacing him by Hugo Ekitike.
- Guardiola may reshuffle his midfield as Cherki's absence removes a dynamic creative option and Phil Foden is expected to shoulder greater responsibility when he returns in the coming weeks.
- Transfer activity clouds City's options as Ederson faces Turkish interest, Manuel Akanji attracts Tottenham, and Gianluigi Donnarumma could join Monday if Ederson moves first, overshadowing the 4 opening-day win over Wolves.
