Manchester City eyes return of Jeremy Doku and Nico O’Reilly for derby

Manchester City prepares for the upcoming derby against Manchester United at Old Trafford with the potential return of two sidelined players. Jeremy Doku has missed four matches following a calf injury sustained during the FA Community Shield, while Nico O’Reilly has been unavailable since experiencing a back injury. Manager Enzo Maresca indicated that O’Reilly is more likely to feature in Sunday’s fixture, though Doku has recently returned to team training. The club enters the match after securing four consecutive wins, most recently defeating FC Porto 2-0. Further clarity regarding both players' availability is expected following Maresca's pre-game media session later today. If cleared for selection, O’Reilly may be considered for a starting role, while Doku would likely be managed cautiously as a substitute.
