Latest from Manchester regarding the men available to Pep Guardiola for the match against Juventus tomorrow evening: according to what the Manchester Evening News, Phil Foden today he trained with the team in view of the Champions League match, but three central defenders remained absent.
Foden missed both matches last week for City with bronchitis, but was part of the group that trained in a chilly Manchester this morning before heading to Turin. The 24-year-old has struggled to reach the standards he set last season for the Citizens, but he has scored three Champions League goals and an assist so far this season, so having him available would certainly be important in a difficult moment like the one we are experiencing squad.
While his return may lift Pep Guardiola, injury fears in defense continue. Manu Akanji came off against Forest in midweek and is a doubt for the Juventus match, while Nathan Ake and John Stones appear to have already been ruled out of the squad; Mateo Kovacic, Rodri and Oscar Bobb also missed training, no Turin for them either.
