Jeremy Doku is expected to be out of contention for a slightly longer period than Grealish, but Guardiola refused to give an exact timescale.

No details have been provided about the nature of the Belgian’s injury but there is still hope that he could return to action before the next international break.

Expected Return Date – Saturday 9th November v Brighton

Oscar Bobb’s return from a leg injury is set to be delayed by a month or two. It was originally expected that the Norwegian international would be available again during the Christmas period.


However, Guardiola has confirmed that Bobb’s comeback has now been pencilled in for “January or February.” That is a major blow for the 21-year-old who looked set to become a regular starter this season.

Expected Return Date – Saturday 1st February v Arsenal
