Man City injury news Pep Guardiola Pep Guardiola can’t hide his excitement for Manchester City’s huge Premier League clash with Liverpool — but the Spaniard has also admitted a major injury worry that could shape Sunday’s title showdown. But while the scoreboard looked comfortable, Guardiola’s lineup told another story — one missing the heartbeat of his midfield.

Rodri’s absence comes at a time when City’s midfield depth is already stretched. “Listen, it is a top, top team,” Guardiola said after City’s Champions League win.

Without Rodri, City’s rhythm often falters — a fact Reds fans will remember from last season when the midfielder’s suspension coincided with rare City slips. So, while Guardiola may be “desperate” to face Liverpool, it’s his midfield options that might just keep him up at night before Sunday’s showdown.
