Manchester City had to settle for a 4-4 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, and the reaction of Pep Guardiola and Erling Haaland after the match showed the huge frustration.
There was anger with officials, but the annoyance will be more widespread than that. Whilst City’s quest to retain the Premier League title isn’t going badly, it doesn’t really feel like it’s in full swing yet.
Jeremy Doku has been one of the bright points for Guardiola so far this season, so seeing him go off injured against Spurs will have been something of a blow.
Belgian newspaper HLN cover the situation today, and say that whilst the Manchester City manager didn’t want to say anything after the match, there were voices around the club talking about tests in the ‘coming hours and days’.
Those tests will determine how long Doku is out of action for.
HLN rightly point to worry given the attacker had injury issues at Rennes, and keeping him fit had been a big part of Manchester City’s success so far with the signing.
Now it’s a case of wait and see.
