"It's for the ankle, the manager said in his post-match press conference in South Yorkshire. He had a knock in the ankle and played on and was out. That news doesn't sounds great, admittedly, although Pep is known to keep his cards close to his chest and then alter his team selection at the last minute."
"O'Reilly, 20, has arguably been one of City's best players across the course of the 2025/26 campaign and recently has enjoyed a starring role in midfield for Pep Guardiola's side. But the youngster was brought off against Leeds United in the Sky Blues' 1-0 at Elland Road last time out, and it remains to be seen whether he is fit to feature against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday."
"Two caps for England and in with a real shout of making Thomas Tuchel's squad for the World Cup this summer, O'Reilly will hope his latest issue is a quick one to resolve, given what is at stake. Adding to that, City are still fighting on four different fronts, with a huge Carabao Cup final against Arsenal coming up."
Nico O'Reilly, a 20-year-old midfielder, has been one of Manchester City's standout performers in the 2025/26 campaign under Pep Guardiola. However, O'Reilly was substituted during City's 1-0 victory at Leeds United due to an ankle injury. His availability for the upcoming Nottingham Forest match remains uncertain. O'Reilly has earned two England caps and is in contention for Thomas Tuchel's World Cup squad. City continues competing across four competitions, including an upcoming Carabao Cup final against Arsenal. Guardiola confirmed the injury was an ankle knock that forced O'Reilly's withdrawal, though the manager typically maintains uncertainty about team selections.
