"Manchester City are set to assess forward Omar Marmoush before Sunday's Manchester derby after he suffered a knee injury while on international duty with Egypt. The 26-year-old was substituted in the ninth minute of his country's World Cup qualifier with Burkina Faso - which finished in a goalless draw - in Ouagadougou on Tuesday. Marmoush, who joined City from Eintracht Frankfurt for 59m in January, was hurt following a robust fourth-minute challenge."
"A picture of the player leaving the pitch with medics was posted on the Egyptian Football Association's X account with the message: "Omar Marmoush suffers a bruised knee ligament. "The player will undergo an X-ray upon his arrival to Cairo [on] Wednesday morning." City's medical staff will also examine Marmoush, who has scored eight goals in 28 games for the club, when he returns to England."
