US EditionMan City's Rodri and Doku Could Return Against Sunderland
Rodri and Jeremy Doku could ease Manchester City's squad strain during a 10-game, 32-day run amid injuries and Africa Cup of Nations absences, manager Pep Guardiola said.
- On Saturday, Rodri and Jeremy Doku could return to Manchester City's matchday squad for the trip to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, though selection is not yet certain.
- Recovering from a calf/muscle injury, Doku has missed the last four games with a muscle injury picked up at the Bernabeu, while Rodri returned as an unused substitute after two months out with a hamstring problem.
- Facing a packed schedule, Manchester City have 10 games in 32 days with key absences including John Stones and Oscar Bobb, while Rayan Ait-Nouri and Omar Marmoush are away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
- Guardiola said Doku's return could leave City short by only four players for the north-east trip, but he downplayed title talk despite the side's recent resurgence.
- Form and transfer talk frame the Sunderland trip as a pivotal moment, with City five points behind Arsenal but holding a game in hand and linked to Antoine Semenyo and Oscar Bobb moves.
