Sport EPL: Guardiola confirms four Man City players to miss Southampton clash
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has provided injury updates on his squad ahead of their upcoming Premier League match against Southampton.....Read Full Article>>
Guardiola confirmed that Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, Jeremy Doku, and Jack Grealish will be sidelined for the game.
De Bruyne has been out since sustaining a groin injury during their Champions League draw with Inter Milan last month and has missed seven consecutive games across all competitions.
Walker is also set to miss this match due to a knee issue that has kept him out of City’s last two fixtures, while wingers Doku and Grealish are both nursing minor injuries.
These absences leave Guardiola facing some tough lineup decisions as second-placed City prepares to face Southampton, currently near the bottom of the league table.
When asked if De Bruyne or Walker might be available, Guardiola simply replied, “No, not yet.” As for Doku and Grealish’s status, he gave a similarly brief response: “No.”

Women’s 2024 U17 World Cup: Nigeria dismiss Dominican Republic, to face USA
Shakirat Moshood’s 89th minute strike from 24 yards earned Nigeria all three points against a heroic Dominican Republic side in the two team’s final match of Group A at the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup on Wednesday morning.....Read Full Article>>
The win ensured that Nigeria will battle USA in the quarter-finals on Saturday. Playing for the first time in Santo Domingo, the barnstorming Nigerians found the going tough under driving rain against a determined host nation, and could not make an overwhelming ball possession count until Moshood, now with four goals, unleashed a rocket from outside the box.
Captain Renata Mercedes and goalkeeper Rondon led a famous resistance against one of the elites of the competition, and the hosts deserved praise for their pushback that ensured the Flamingos made nothing out of 16 corner kicks.
Coach Bankole Olowookere made three changes to the starting line-up, bringing in Rokibat Azeez, Blessing Ifitezue and Ramotalahi Kareem in place of Onyedikachi Ekezie, Peace Effiong and Harmony Chidi.
He restored Effiong and Chidi after the hour, but it took a special effort from Moshood, scorer of the tournament’s fastest goal, to break the hearts of the hosts.
Victory means the Flamingos top their group, three points better than second-placed Ecuador, who walloped New Zealand 4-0 to finish with six points and set up a clash with Spain on Sunday. Caprice Chiuchiolo netted a brace.
