As the international break concludes, the Premier League title race involving Liverpool, Arsenal, and City is set to resume. However, Guardiola’s team faces a more significant setback than before the break. Injuries to Matheus Nunes, Manuel Akanji, John Stones, and Kyle Walker sustained during their international duties have compounded their injury list, which already includes Ederson, Kevin de Bruyne, and Jack Grealish.

According to reports from the Daily Mail, Walker is a major doubt for the upcoming clash against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. Both Walker and Stones will undergo scans upon returning to the club. Manchester City is closely monitoring the situations of Ederson, De Bruyne, and Grealish, with decisions on their inclusion to be made late.

Arteta’s Arsenal is also grappling with injury concerns, with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Magalhaes withdrawing from international duty without featuring in any matches. The Spanish coach faces a last-minute decision on their involvement.

With the Arsenal clash looming, Manchester City must swiftly determine their squad selections as the Gunners visit the Etihad Stadium on March 31st.
