Manchester United: If all Manchester City players are healthy, Guardiola will face the choice of excluding three people in each Premier League round

On October 10, the "Manchester Evening News" wrote an article about Manchester City's selection of Premier League personnel. The article stated that if all Manchester City players are healthy, Guardiola will face the choice of excluding three people in each round.

Manwan said that Manchester City currently has 21 players available (including Bettinelli and Calvin Phillips), and 4 players are unable to play, namely Husanov, Aite Nouri, Rodri and Malmouche, but these 4 players may return after the international match. Husanov, Ait Nouri and Marmouche are looking to return as soon as possible after the break, with Rodri insisting he will not be out for more than two weeks.

If everyone is healthy, Guardiola will have 25 players to choose from, and Bettinelli and Calvin Phillips can reduce this number to at least 23. Even so, 23 players compete for 20 Premier League roster spots, so three players will not make the roster in each round, and Guardiola must make a decision.

The media went on to say that although O'Reilly is in hot shape and has comprehensive abilities, Aite Nouri's comeback may put pressure on him. If Husanov returns to health, Ake will not be on the roster given the defensive options. In terms of midfielder, Kovacic may not be selected from the list. Rodri, Nico Gonzalez, Reinders, B seat, Shirkey and Foden can all play in the midfield, and Rico Lewis and O'Reilly can also play this position.

Finding a place for Malmouche may be a little more difficult, with Guardiola unwilling to give up Docu or Savinho, Oscar Bob could be the player given up, or Guardiola could give up a backup right-back. If Husanov returns to the starting lineup, Manchester City will have Stones, Rico Lewis and Nunes as substitutes. If Guardiola wants to add more attackers, Rico Lewis or Nunes can make room.

Guardiola has options, but if it means leaving some senior players off the roster, those conversations won't be easy for the coach.
