Any news on his injury ?

Pellegrini's due to do a press conference in the next hour or so, should know more then.

He tweeted on Saturday evening that he doesn't believe it's a serious injury

That's all I've got

Depends who you listen to. Apparently The Sun are saying he is out for tomorrow night, but I dont believe anything they print ( apart from the date).

The press conference is at 12.45, so we should know then

Twitter says he, Nasri and fernandhino not training bug silva and sterling back.

Looks like Bony in for Aguero Fernando for Fernadinho. Doubt Nasri would have started anyway. Marchisio is out for Juventus.

Didn't Fernando say he was two weeks away at the weekend just gone?

How does Bony come in for Aguero? They both started the last game

Pellers said last presser Fernando was back training BUT probably a couple of weeks before match fit, but if Fern1 is out then our hand could be forced...

Today's Presser is 12:45

Haha oops

Martin reborn michelis

Yes MDM

Patience patience. The fact that Nasri and Dinho haven't trained means nothing yet but the media love to throw it out quickly to get the chat and worry going. It's fairly usual the first day's training after a big match that a player or more doesn't train so no big deal. Aguero we saw got crocked so maybe a surprise if he does play but apart from that I am expecting the others to be ready to play. And as long as Pellegrini plays one up top I expect we will win.

Sadly I think Bony plays into Juventus' strengths. I wish we could see Nacho if Kun is out. I'd be willing to play Sterling as a false 9 and add Nasri to see what those up front could do. Bony is he logical choice but I'd prefer more pace to test Juve and their back line.

I'm perfectly fine with MDM at defensive mid if required but tbh tho he has shown some form on here I wouldn't start with MRM. This stage is too big for his first start. You'll destroy the kid's confidence.

Cheers

Shame Nacho wasn't in the UCL squad. He would have been champing at the bit after the weekend.

According to Presser Aguero out but Fernandinho and Nasri likely to be ok despite missing training today. I suspect that Bony will be upfront on his own. Pellegrini wouldn't confirm that de Bruyne would start but he surely will. I guess Navas will make way.

How long is Sergio out for? Did he say?

Ill be the first to say it , Bony will be pap up on his own .....I fear Pellers made a mistake leaving Nacho out and I said that before he scored the other day.
Bony just does not have it to be a lone striker in our team..hes fuckign slow and his natural game is to back into a defender and hold the ball up (Which he excels at) looking to push it to the wing and then he runs into the box to hopefully get onto the cross.

Thats all well and fine when he has Aguero with him but on his own ?????.............I reckon he will only score if its from a set piece.

Not happy.
