'We don't have so many players' - Man City injury crisis worsens as Pep Guardiola rules out two more stars and admits Kevin De Bruyne concern

Premier League

Brentford

Manchester City

Leicester

Crystal Palace

<p>City travel to Selhurst Park on Saturday with an injury list approaching double figures. Ahead of that encounter, manager Guardiola confirmed that Phil Foden and Nathan Ake will be unavailable, Manuel Akanji could miss out, and De Bruyne - who starred in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-player-ratings-nottingham-forest-kevin-de-bruyne/blte4794ca064b242c6" target="_blank">3-0 midweek win over Nottingham Forest</a> - may not be fit, too. That led the Spaniard to admit "We don't have so many players" at present.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told reporters on Friday: "He’s [Foden] not ready. Nathan [Ake] is out; Manu [Akanji] we’ll see." </p><p>On De Bruyne, he said: "We don’t have many players so we’ll see. [It took] a long time to come back. With a game every three days, we’ll see how he [De Bruyne] reacts to this amount of games."</p>

WHAT PEP GUARDIOLA SAID

<p>If De Bruyne and Akanji miss the Palace match, that means City will have eight players unavailable, including the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rodri-man-city-sensational-comeback-acl-injury-ahead-of-club-world-cup/bltf5235469f76ad26b" target="_blank">injured Rodri</a>, John Stones, Mateo Kovacic, Oscar Bobb, Foden and Ake. City are trying to defend their Premier League title but all these injuries are certainly not helping that effort.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After Guardiola's team, who ended a run of seven games without a win in all competitions this week, take on lowly Palace in the Premier League, they return to Champions League action away to Juventus on Wednesday night.</p>
