Manchester City and Chelsea have quite a few injury concerns ahead of their upcoming match. De Bruyne, Haaland, and Akanji's situations will certainly be closely monitored, especially given their importance to the team. It's positive news that De Bruyne is progressing well, but Haaland's muscle issue could be a worry for City.
With players like Walker, Stones, and Ake also being assessed, Guardiola will have to carefully manage his squad to ensure they can field a strong team against Chelsea. Ortega might step in for Ederson, and there could be opportunities for Kovacic and Alvarez to make an impact if selected.
As for Chelsea, they have their own injury worries with several key players sidelined. It's unfortunate that they won't have Casadei available due to cup-tie rules. The fitness of Sterling, Sanchez, Disasi, Fernandez, and Nkunku will be crucial for Tuchel's selection.
Palmer's performance against his former club will be eagerly anticipated, and his role in the lineup could be influenced by Fernandez's availability. It sounds like there are a lot of variables for both teams to consider as they prepare for the match.
