Manchester City are set to resume their 2024/25 season this weekend following the latest international break.

Prior to the November break, City lost four matches on the bounce, which is something that had never happened before under Pep Guardiola.

During this period – which Bernardo Silva called a “dark place” for City – the club had to deal with various injury and fitness issues involving numerous figures from the squad.

With this weekend seeing the champions take on Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium, a significant injury update has come to light which quickly led to many City fans sharing their reactions.

Man City fans react to encouraging injury update

In a recent post on his official X account, Fabrizio Romano said that Kevin De Bruyne, John Stones, Jack Grealish and Manuel Akanji are all back in training ahead of Saturday’s big match against Spurs.

This then led to many City supporters responding to Romano’s update with their reactions.

One fan wrote: “City ready to turn up the second half of the season as always.”

This supporter then carried on the subject of the title race by claiming that “This is where rivals start crying.”

Another supporter said: “Thank the Lord,” with another fan carrying on the religious theme saying: “Pray for Tottenham,” in regards to this weekend’s match.

One of the four players Romano mentioned in his post was the main focus for another fan, who had this to say about De Bruyne, in particular: “A fully fit and rested KDB! Our season starts now!”

Guardiola will be delighted with returning players

After seeing his side lose to Brighton, Guardiola admitted that City needed the international break to arrive when it did so it gave his players the chance to get back to full fitness if they weren’t called up to play for their countries.

Now that De Bruyne, Stones, Grealish and Akanji have been training ahead of Saturday’s big match against Ange Postecoglou’s side and the rest of City’s big fixtures over the next few weeks, Guardiola will surely share the sentiments of these particular supporters and be delighted to have these players back.
