Doku's Brilliance Dims with Injury in City's Win
29 Jan
Summary
- Haaland and Cherki goals secured a vital top-eight finish.
- Jeremy Doku provided two assists before suffering a calf injury.
- Doku's injury casts doubt on his availability for the Tottenham match.
Manchester City achieved a vital top-eight standing in the Champions League league phase following a 2-0 victory over Galatasaray at the Etihad Stadium. First-half goals from Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki, both set up by the exceptional Jeremy Doku, sealed the win.
However, the match was marred by a calf injury sustained by Jeremy Doku in the 37th minute. Manager Pep Guardiola confirmed the injury, expressing concern about Doku's availability for the upcoming Premier League fixture against Tottenham. Guardiola noted that Doku has experienced similar muscular issues recently.
Doku's performance prior to his injury was highly impactful, as he consistently troubled the Galatasaray defense with his pace and skill, contributing two assists. The team now faces potential limitations in attacking options with Savinho also injured and Oscar Bobb nearing a loan move.
