It took half a season, but it looks like Manchester City is finally finding the rub of the green. Title rivals Arsenal have dropped a lot of points while Pep Guardiola‘s men emerged victorious in a tough away game against Everton. New signings like Mattheus Nunes and Josko Gvardiol are also starting to click together as a unit. However, Man City has just received news that could ‘make or break their season‘. An injury update has emerged for their superstar trio of Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland, and Jeremy Doku.

Injuries have constantly halted Man City’s momentum this campaign. Despite their victory at Goodison Park, influential defender John Stones was forced off due to an injury that didn’t look good. Hence, fans who are eagerly waiting for their favorite stars to return will be delighted at the latest news.

Manchester City trio set to return to action soon

As reported on X by City Chief, the expected return dates of the 3 players have been revealed. The post was captioned,
“🚑 Injury Update:
– Erling #Haaland is expected to return against Newcastle on Jan 13th.
– Kevin De Bruyne expected to be back vs Huddersfield
– Jeremy Doku expected back for Huddersfield/Newcastle. [@FPLMaineRoad]”

The Belgian duo is likely to make their comeback in the fixture against Huddersfield on January 7th. However, there is a possibility that Doku’s return could be pushed to Jan 13. The Norwegian, on the other hand, is scheduled to return against Newcastle United, a week later on January 13.

KDB has been the player out for the longest. The Belgian wizard last played against Burnley in August before being forced off by a Hamstring injury. With 31 assists in the 22/23 season, his creativity has sorely been missed by his teammates.

Erling Haaland (stress reaction in Bone) & Jeremy Doku (Hamstring injury) were short-term absentees and the duo was seen as recently as in December. With 3 PFA POTY awards between them, Haaland and KDB are two of the best players in the Premier League, let alone Manchester City. However, despite their impending return, Guardiola has been diplomatic about his team’s title aspirations.

‘We’re not top of the league’, Guardiola rates arch-rivals ahead of Man City!

With 5 Premier League titles in his 7 seasons with the Sky Blues, most would expect Guardiola’s side to be title favorites. However, the Spanish tactician doesn’t agree. In a recent press conference, he said, “We’re not top of the league, Liverpool are better”, as per BBC. Is Pep looking to tone down the sky-high expectations?

As per the Spaniard, his side has had injuries and other problems. However, he did add that the level and state of his side are very good and the next months are ‘less intense’ in comparison to November and December. Hence, it seems like the perfect opportunity to ease KDB and the other recovering Cityzens back into the team.

Could they turn the tide in Manchester City’s favor? Tell us in the comments below.
