Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku missed the match against Crystal Palace after manager Pep Guardiola confirmed the Belgian had sustained a leg injury.
Manchester City suffered a new injury blow as forward Jeremy Doku was confirmed absent from the squad traveling to Crystal Palace.
The winger was a surprising omission from Sunday’s line-up, raising immediate fitness concerns for manager Pep Guardiola.
His absence is particularly worrying as Doku has been one of City’s standout performers this season.
Speaking before kick-off at Selhurst Park, Pep Guardiola provided an update on the Belgian star’s condition.
The City boss kept his diagnosis brief, confirming Doku had sustained a leg problem that ruled him out of the Premier League clash. Guardiola explained his absence, stating simply: “Leg injury.”
The injury comes just days after Doku played 87 minutes in the crucial Champions League win against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
Doku’s fitness is now a significant concern for the club as they look to navigate a critical period in their Premier League and European campaigns.
