Manchester City Injury Update: Key Players Nearing Return as Season Concludes

Manchester City are navigating the final stages of the 2024–25 season with several key players working their way back from injury. As the team aims to secure a top-five Premier League finish and prepare for the upcoming Club World Cup, the return of these players could provide a significant boost.

Rodri’s Recovery Progressing

Midfielder Rodri has been sidelined since September due to an ACL injury. He returned to training in April and was present with the squad during the FA Cup final, although he did not feature in the match. Manager Pep Guardiola has indicated that Rodri may be available for the final Premier League fixtures, depending on his fitness levels.

Oscar Bobb and Nathan Ake Back in Training

Winger Oscar Bobb, who suffered a leg fracture earlier in the season followed by a hamstring issue, has resumed partial team training. Defender Nathan Ake, recovering from foot surgery, is also back in training. Both players are being monitored, and their participation in the remaining matches will depend on their fitness and the team’s needs.

John Stones’ Return Uncertain

Defender John Stones has been out since February with a thigh injury sustained during the Champions League playoff against Real Madrid. While he did not require surgery, updates on his condition have been limited, and his return date remains uncertain.

As Manchester City approach the end of the season, the potential return of key players like Rodri, Oscar Bobb, and Nathan Ake could play a crucial role in the team’s performance. Monitoring their recovery and integrating them back into the squad will be essential for the club’s success in the remaining fixtures and upcoming competitions.
