Pep Guardiola, head of Manchester City, anointed the confirmation of Eöder’s spell on the edge with the news that Phil Foden and Manuel Akanji had returned for training.
Last weekend Everson hobbled against Crystal Palace with a groin injury, in which many of Manchester fell on the blue half. The first reports were confident that the Brazilian shooting stopper would not start Everton on Saturday and indicated a longer absence.
Guardiola confirmed that Ederson was “not ready” for the trip to Goodison Park, but could not provide any clarity about when his goalkeeper would return to the first election.
The city’s over -populated treatment room is gradually emptied over the course of the season, but it still contains John Stones, Nathan Ake and Star Stürmer Erling Haaland. Guardiola revealed that the productive Norwegian still has to be involved in any training sessions while plans to gradually return that could take up to seven weeks.
The defensive duo of Stones and Ake becomes “better”, but stays in the edge. Akanj will be available again. “Manu, yes, [he’s had] Two or three training sessions with us, “Guardiola beamed.” I see that he moves really well. “
The versatile Swiss International has maintained a muscular topic in the past two and a half weeks and forced Guardiola to move Josko Gvardiol next to Ruben slides. Foden has not suffered any discharge almost as lengthy, but played in training together with Akanji after having broken off the comeback win over the palace last weekend.
City go to Goodison Park in urgently needed points to maintain your position in the top 5 of the Premier League – which offers the qualification for the lucrative Champions League of next season. However, the Toffees will not be a pushy in front of a lot that enjoys every last moment in the spiritual home of the club.
Since David Moyes was confirmed again in January, the Merseyside outfit has collected as many points as the city and gave two goals.
As Guardiola warned, the atmosphere and history that seepers from the stadium should not distract from the difficult task. “It’s a nice place to go,” grinned the City leader. “Of course difficult, but nice.”
