INJURY UPDATES:In premier League Newcastle United And Man City Three Substitute Super Star Undergo injury September 24, 2023 futballupdate Newcastle United 0 In premier League Newcastle United And Man City Three Substitute Super Star Undergo injury From left to right; John Stones, Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva. Manchester City welcomed back £100million man Jack Grealish for the closing stages in the win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon, but Pep Guardiola still has one or two glaring selection concerns. Grealish had been missing for three matches with a hamstring injury. However, the 28-year-old was fit enough for three minutes at the death as ten-man City defeated Forest at the Etihad Stadium. John Stones, Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic missed that match, while long-term absentee Kevin De Bruyne is, also, still on the treatment table with Rodri primed to miss three games, following his red card for violent conduct. Here’s our latest round-up as City’s injured players step up their recoveries for matches with Newcastle and Wolves. Possible return date: September 30 vs Wolves What Guardiola has said: “He [Silva] didn’t say anything at the end. I didn’t speak to the doctors but, apparently, for the next games he won’t be able to play. We now have four really important players injured and to sustain that for a long time would be difficult. It’s a little injury, a week or 10 days he will be out.” Mateo Kovacic Injury: Muscular Possible return date: September 27 vs Newcastle What Guardiola has said: “Kova is almost there, he’s in the last part of his recovery. We need the injured players back, because we have a lot of games and cannot play with the same players.” John Stones Injury: Muscular Possible return date: September 30 vs Wolves What Guardiola has said: “John and Kevin are still out. John is better, but still has issues.” Kevin De Bruyne Injury: Hamstring Return date: TBC What Guardiola has said: “It’s a serious injury. He will be out for a few months. The injury is a blow, a big loss. He has specific qualities. For a long time is really tough for us. We have to look forward. We have alternatives. Kevin is irreplaceable, but we have talented players. They will take it.” Bernardo SilvaJohn StonesMan CityNewcastle United
