The international break is over, and club football returns this weekend. Manchester City are set to face Manchester United, but the champions could be dealing with a player crisis.

Details: According to City Xtra, as many as 13 Manchester City players are doubtful for the derby. The list includes Rayan Cherki, Rayan Aït-Nouri, Marcus Bettinelli, Joško Gvardiol, Abduqodir Khusanov, Rico Lewis, John Stones, Phil Foden, Mateo Kovačić, Nico O’Reilly, Kalvin Phillips, Savinho, and Omar Marmoush.
