City's O'Reilly Set for Derby Return
11 Sep
Summary
- Nico O'Reilly returns to the Manchester City squad for the upcoming derby.
- O'Reilly missed two games due to a back issue sustained during warm-ups.
- Jérémy Doku remains unavailable with a calf problem.
Nico O'Reilly is set to bolster the Manchester City squad for their upcoming derby clash against rivals Manchester United this Sunday. The England left-back has been absent for the last two fixtures after experiencing a back issue.
This problem forced O'Reilly to withdraw during the warm-up prior to their Premier League victory over Coventry. His return is a significant boost for the team heading into a high-stakes match.
However, winger Jérémy Doku will remain unavailable as he continues to recover from a calf injury. Doku sustained the problem during the Community Shield match. Manager Enzo Maresca confirmed O'Reilly's fitness, noting that Doku requires additional recovery time.
