Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers are gearing up for a crucial Premier League match at Molineux this weekend, with both sides managing significant injury concerns. The reigning champions, Manchester City, will be without Rodri for the rest of the season and are also missing Oscar Bobb until the new year. However, there’s a potential boost for City as key players Nathan Ake and Kevin De Bruyne are nearing returns from injury. Manager Pep Guardiola hinted that Ake could be back following the international break, though he may still need time to regain full fitness.
On the Wolves’ side, manager Gary O’Neil faces a challenging situation, with several long-term injuries affecting his squad. Yerson Mosquera, Sasa Kalajdzic, and Enso Gonzalez are all sidelined with serious knee injuries. Boubacar Traore is also out until the new year. However, Wolves might see the return of teenage defender Bastien Meupiyou, who has been recovering from an injury since signing from Nantes in the summer.
The status of Hwang Hee-Chan remains unclear after he picked up a knock during international duty with South Korea, and O’Neil will provide further updates closer to the game. Wolves, currently at the bottom of the Premier League table, will be desperate for points but face a daunting task against a Manchester City side hungry to extend their dominance.
With Wolves looking to bounce back from a poor start to the season, and City hoping to maintain their championship form, this matchup is crucial for both teams.
