Enzo Maresca has given the latest Man City injury news ahead of the clash against Man United at Old Trafford
Manchester City have been handed an injury boost for this weekend’s Manchester derby, with Nico O’Reilly expected to be fit for the clash with Manchester United. The 21-year-old has been absent for the last two games with a back injury.
City make the short journey to Old Trafford on Sunday to take on United. They will be looking to maintain their 100 per cent record in the Premier League under Enzo Maresca.
The results see City sit top of the early Premier League table, above expected title rivals Arsenal on goals scored. The two teams are the only two to have won all of their three games so far.
City were also in Champions League action this week. They kicked off their European campaign in the perfect way with a brace from Erling Haaland giving them a 2-0 away win.
Attentions now turn back to the Premier League and the Manchester derby with City looking to secure early bragging rights.
Ahead of the game, Maresca has given the latest injury update on his squad. In good news, it seems that the treatment room is becoming increasingly empty.
Nico O’Reilly
Injury: Back.
O’Reilly was forced to pull out of the line-up shortly before last weekend’s win over Coventry City due to a back problem. He sat out this week’s Champions League win over Porto, but will be available for the Manchester derby.
What Maresca has said: “Nico is 100% available.”
Expected return date: Vs Manchester United (A) – Sunday 13 September.
