Sounds like the King will miss out.

Ederson

Walker Dias Laporte Mendy

Rodri Gundogan Foden

B.Silva Sterling Mahrez

The front 3 can piss about changing roles lol hopefully Sergio can get half hour but I doubt it.

Still plenty to beat Arsenal.

After fake Ronaldo covid + test, will Bernardo, Dias and cancelo play?

 

[CITYROBBO]

Ronaldo tests positive for Co-vid19 in Portugal squad . What happens with Bernardo silva, Dias for saturday now and Cancelo ? Surely we cant be playing the game if these 3 are out

 

[Phil1]

If it comes to pass that our Portuguese contingent have to miss out then the season should be fucked off for now.
Its basically going to be a lottery every week as to who avoids a positive test and who doesn't. The fact you can't put out your strongest team due to outside forces renders this year a farce.

Just had text saying All rest of Portugal squad had new Covid test this morning, all negative, all available for their game tomorrow......

Not sure what the source is though

BBC says
"The remainder of Fernando Santos' Portugal squad have tested negative for Covid-19 and are available for selection"
Sounds like our 3 players should be available

They have to test again tomorrow and Thursday then we will know for sure.

fuck knows what the available team is going to look like in Saturday. So stupid to have these internationals in the midst of a pandemic.

International football should be scrapped especially with a pandemic national teams playing one another it's a fucking farce.

High five

Insanity having players travel abroad during a pandemic. Surely they will have to do something about the next few international breaks

I think they are born that way, especially around London, Milton Keynes, Bournemouth and Singapore

Love that tweet thread. Scroll down to the Edin Dzeko one. Brings back many happy memories.Some great goals including that fantastic header against the toffees.

oh and that sensational KDB pass to Leroy was.....orgasmic.

I know I'm old and crusty but, I just spent 5 mins trying to figure out what #MCIARS meant.
I thought it was some kind of scan.

I'm worried about this fixture for the first time in ages. City have injuries and players yet to hit the kind of form we expect and Arsenal have improved as a team and seem to be making strides under Arteta although it's still early days. Hopefully Serg and Raheem take some part as does KDB but I'm not holding my breath. Lack of goals and striking options is a concern,
