Man City will be looking to build on their win over Manchester United

The mood in the camp ahead of those fixtures should be a positive one after a return to winning ways in Sunday's Manchester derby.

Foden was one of several senior players to mark his return from injury in the derby, but there are still some members in the treatment room.

Omar Marmoush

The Egyptian forward has suffered a knee ligament injury while on international duty.

Omar Marmoush was forced off during Egypt's 0-0 draw with Burkina Faso last Tuesday, and was pictured wearing a knee brace and using crutches after the game.

The Egyptian Football Association confirmed after the game that "Marmoush has suffered a bruised knee ligament”, adding: "The player will undergo an X-ray upon his arrival to Cairo [on] Wednesday morning."

Big blow: Omar Marmoush

City on Wednesday ruled Marmoush out of the derby but Guardiola doesn't expect to be without the winger for too long.

"A few weeks, I think, before the next international break he will be ready," the Spaniard told reporters.

Potential return date: October 5, 2025 vs Brentford (A)

Rayan Cherki

Summer signing Rayan Cherki is already facing an extended period on the sidelines after picking up a thigh injury.

The forward scored on his Premier League debut, a 4-0 win at Wolves, but struggled against Tottenham, and has now been ruled out until late October.

Guardiola said on August 31: “He’s out for two months. Seven or eight weeks.”

That could see Cherki miss as many as 11 games in total, including three Champions League outings, before returning.

Potential return date: November 1, 2025 vs Bournemouth (H)

John Stones

The centre-back had started all three of City’s Premier League games this season, but was forced to withdraw from England duty with “minor muscle issues”.

It was a surprise given John Stones had played 90 minutes for City just four days beforehand, but it resulted in the defender missing the Manchester derby too.

Guardiola did say he did not think the issue was too serious so Stones could be available for the Champions League clash at home to Napoli in the best-case scenario.

Rayan Ait-Nouri

The summer signing from Wolves played no part against Manchester United after picking up an unspecified knock during the international break.

Little information has been disclosed regarding Rayan Ait-Nouri's injury so it's impossible to speculate on a potential return date.

Mateo Kovacic

The Croatian had surgery on an Achilles problem ahead of the Club World Cup, and has not made a competitive appearance since.

Asked before the season for an update, Guardiola said: “We have three [defensive midfielders], I would say, with Kova injured until September or October - hopefully earlier.”
