Foden and Rodri Return for Manchester City vs Tottenham, Savinho Remains Out

Manchester City will have Phil Foden and Rodri back for their match against Tottenham Hotspur. However, Savinho is still out due to injury.

GUARDIOLA GIVES TEAM UPDATE

Pep Guardiola confirmed that Foden and Rodri are fit for Saturday’s Premier League game at the Etihad Stadium. Foden has recovered from an ankle injury, and Rodri is back from an injury he got at the FIFA Club World Cup. Savinho, Mateo Kovacic, and Josko Gvardiol will miss the game while they continue their recovery. Guardiola said Savinho still needs more time before he can return. Savinho is also linked with a transfer to Tottenham Hotspur.

CITY’S STRONG START AND WHAT IT MEANS

Manchester City started the new Premier League season well, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-0 last weekend, even without some key players. This performance reflects the club’s aim to stay on top in English football, as reported recently. The team is near the top of the league, showing they want to defend their title. Foden and Rodri were important last season, with Foden scoring 15 goals and 10 assists, and Rodri controlling the midfield at the end of the season after a lenghty injury that kept him out most of the season. Their return is a big boost for City in a tough match against Tottenham, who finished in the top four last season and aim to challenge City this year.

LOOKING AHEAD TO THE TOTTENHAM CLASH

Manchester City will play Tottenham, who also started their season with a win and are close to City in the standings. City are level on points with leaders Arsenal but have a lower goal difference. Tottenham are close, making this match a big test for both teams. After this, City’s next matches are against Brighton and away at Man United, both just below City in the table. A win this weekend could help Manchester City move clear at the top, while Tottenham will try to move ahead. All eyes will be on Foden and Rodri’s impact, while fans wait for updates on Savinho’s recovery and possible transfer news. It’s important to note that Manchester City is currently monitoring Rodrygo, but any potential move will depend on Savinho’s situation as he is linked to a possible exit to Tottenham according to reports.
