Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace 3-0 in the 16th round of the 2025-26 Premier League at Selhurst Park in London, England on the 14th.

Manchester City couldn't smile even with a complete victory. Jeremy Doku's injury was announced before the game. Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, told a press conference before the game that Jeremy Doku had a leg injury.

Doku's injury is fatal to Manchester City. Having joined the team in 2023, Doku has been in full swing this season and has become the ace of the team's offense. His presence in the center from the left side with his brilliant dribbling skills is an important part of Manchester City's offense. In fact, in a showdown with Liverpool last month, he scored one goal and dribbled seven times, destroying the opponent's side.

Thanks to Doku's performance, Manchester City has recently won five consecutive games and chased Arsenal, the first place, with a tremendous pace. With 34 points, Manchester City is continuing its competition to win the title by narrowing the gap between the leading Arsenal to two points, making Doku's presence all the more precious.

However, the sad news came to Manchester City. It is news that Doku will leave for 2-3 weeks. "I don't know the details, but it will take two to three weeks," Guardiola told a news conference ahead of the EFL Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday. "He could return to the match against Sunderland next year. We will wait and see for now."

With Doku's departure, Manchester City will play the next three games without him. To make matters worse, even Omar Marmusi left, and Manchester City will suffer a big blow to the left line. Phil Foden and Savinho can play left wingers, but Foden is often used as a center and Savinho has ups and downs, so Doku's vacancy is expected to be felt.

Guardiola said that along with Doku, John Stones and Rodri are still not allowed to play. Attention is focusing on whether Guardiola will be able to come up with a trick to replace the ace.
