Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola faces a fresh setback just hours before their Champions League clash against Feyenoord in the fifth round of the group stage today, Tuesday.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News, English defender John Stones missed Manchester City’s final training session, casting doubt on his availability for tonight’s Champions League match.
The 30-year-old’s substitution at halftime in City’s recent Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur has fueled speculation about a possible injury setback.
Stones has managed only 11 appearances this season, with just seven as part of the starting lineup.
Manchester City has been grappling with a growing injury list, recently losing Mateus Kovacic, Ruben Dias, and Jeremy Doku, alongside long-term absentees Rodri and Oscar Bob.
Pep Guardiola and his squad are eager to break their streak of poor form, having suffered five consecutive defeats across all competitions—an unprecedented run since Guardiola took charge in 2016.
