"Omar Marmoush is poised to miss Manchester City's derby with Manchester United on Sunday, and there are fears that a knee injury sustained against Burkina Faso could rule him out for a sustained period. The Egypt forward was forced off in the ninth minute of Tuesday's 1-1 draw in a World Cup qualifier in Ouagadougou. City said: Initial results on a scan performed in Egypt indicate he will not be available for the Manchester derby on Sunday,"
"Marmoush, who played on after receiving the injury on four minutes, has started City's past two games, the 2-0 home defeat by Tottenham and 2-1 loss at Brighton that have left them with three points from the opening three matches. Rayan Cherki is out with a hamstring injury that will sideline him for six weeks, and Phil Foden's fitness is unclear after he missed the Brighton game."
Omar Marmoush could miss Manchester City's derby after sustaining a knee injury while playing for Egypt against Burkina Faso. He was forced off in the ninth minute of Tuesday's 1-1 World Cup qualifier in Ouagadougou. Initial scan results from Egypt indicate he will not be available for the Manchester derby and he will return to Manchester for assessment and rehabilitation. Marmoush had continued briefly after contact at four minutes and had started City's previous two matches. City have three points from three league games after defeats to Tottenham and Brighton. Rayan Cherki faces six weeks out with a hamstring injury, Phil Foden's fitness is unclear, and Erling Haaland scored five goals for Norway in an 11-1 win over Moldova.
