The tough period continues for Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, which keeps losing important players. Ait Nouri is also out, and he will be sidelined for at least the next 5 weeks. As reported by Fabrizio Romano, in addition to Kovacic, Marmoush, and Cherki, the Franco-Algerian also joins the list. It's an extreme emergency situation for the Spanish coach, who will face the tough Manchester derby tomorrow and will play against Napoli in the Champions League debut on Wednesday.

City in Emergency Ahead of Napoli: Ait Nouri Also Out

There is no respite for Pep Guardiola, who continues to see the club's infirmary fill up. Manchester City keeps losing players: this time it's Ait Nouri, a left-back by trade, who is unavailable. The player quickly adapted to the Spanish coach's tactics, and his injury is certainly a big headache for the Citizens. The former Wolves player joins Kovacic, Marmoush, and Cherki on the list of sidelined players: not exactly insignificant names.

Now everything is in Guardiola's hands, who will have to reshuffle the deck to best face the upcoming challenges, which are certainly not the easiest. Tomorrow at 17:30, they will face Amorim's United in the Manchester Derby, fresh off a 3-2 win against Burnley. Let's also remember that on Wednesday evening, they will face Conte's Napoli in the Champions League, in the first match of the season in the competition.

A reduced squad for important commitments is available to the Spanish coach, who is not having an easy time with his City, having collected only 3 points in the first 3 matches, resulting from one win and two losses.
