Overview
- Pep Guardiola said Omar Marmoush is unlikely to feature against Bodo/Glimt after Egypt’s AFCON campaign ended on Saturday, with reports indicating he is not expected to travel.
- City anticipate at least 10 absentees for the Champions League match, including Bernardo Silva, who serves a one-game ban after three yellow cards.
- January arrival Antoine Semenyo is ineligible for the Champions League until the knockouts, and the same restriction would apply to Marc Guehi if his signing is completed before travel.
- Phil Foden’s fitness is in doubt after a hand issue and Matheus Nunes may miss out, while longer-term injuries include Ruben Dias, John Stones, Josko Gvardiol, Oscar Bobb and Savinho, with Nico Gonzalez also sidelined recently.
- Guardiola emphasized Erling Haaland’s importance up front and may turn to List B option Max Alleyne, as City target a win to strengthen a top-eight position and avoid the play-off round.
