Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush is doubtful for the Manchester derby against Manchester United on Sunday after suffering a knee ligament injury while playing for Egypt in their World Cup qualifier against Burkina Faso on Tuesday. The Egyptian Football Association confirmed that Marmoush has a bruised knee ligament and will undergo an X-ray upon his arrival in Cairo on Wednesday to determine the severity of the injury.
Marmoush's potential absence would be a significant blow to Pep Guardiola's team, which has already struggled with injuries to key players like Kevin De Bruyne and Manuel Akanji. Marmoush has been an important option for City this season, scoring eight goals in 28 appearances and providing valuable support to Erling Haaland. His versatility in the front line and work rate off the ball have made him a crucial part of Guardiola's attacking plans.
The Manchester derby is set to be a high-stakes match, with both teams needing a win after inconsistent starts to the season. Manchester United are currently one point ahead of City, having registered a win, a draw, and a defeat. City, on the other hand, started their campaign with a commanding win over Wolves but suffered successive defeats against Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton.

“The national team doctor had confirmed that Omar Marmoush's injury is a bruised knee ligament, and the player will undergo an X-ray upon his arrival in Cairo on Wednesday morning,” the Egyptian Football Association stated. This injury raises concerns about Marmoush's availability for the upcoming Manchester derby against Manchester United on September 14.

Marmoush's injury is a significant blow to Manchester City, who face a challenging schedule with crucial matches against top teams. Pep Guardiola's side has already struggled with injuries, and Marmoush's absence would further impact their lineup. The player has been instrumental in City's attacking plays, contributing eight goals and two assists since joining the club.
Manchester City will host Manchester United on Sunday, with both teams looking to bounce back from unconvincing starts to the Premier League season. The match, scheduled for September 14, 2025, at the Etihad Stadium, promises to be an intense encounter between two rival teams.
