Man City star out of Tottenham clash with new injury

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has acknowledged that Jeremy Doku will be sidelined for the Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur on the road on Sunday.

The Belgian started the Champions League game against Galatasaray yesterday. He was brilliant during the opening half with two assists before being substituted with a calf issue.

Speaking after the 2-0 win over the Turkish giants, Guardiola confirmed that the winger won't be involved against Spurs, he said:

"It’s a big miss. Jeremy is such an important player for many reasons. The creativity in the final third. But yeah, we’ll see."

Man City are currently four points behind Arsenal in the league standings and must beat Spurs on the road to keep up with the Gunners in the hunt for the title.

With Doku sidelined, it could be Antoine Semenyo starting on the left wing. He has played in the role on numerous occasions for his ex-club Bournemouth.

Semenyo has been a big hint in the Cityzens shirt since his winter move. The 26-year-old has already registered three goals and one assist from four appearances.
