Doing better after knock
Khusanov (undisclosed) is improving from the tough knock he sustained in the Everton fixture and is a late call for Wednesday's clash against Crystal Palace, according to coach Pep Guardiola. "[He had a] tough knock against Beto at Everton. He's better."
Analysis: Khusanov had been ruled out of Saturday's clash against Brentford after picking up the painful knock against Everton, but his improvement is an encouraging sign heading into the midweek fixture. The Uzbek center-back has been one of City's most used defensive players in recent weeks and getting him back alongside the returning Ruben Dias would give coach Guardiola a much stronger defensive lineup for the final push of what remains a tightly contested title race.
Out to face Bees
Khusanov is out for Saturday's match against Brentford due to a knock, according to manager Pep Guardiola. "He got a tough knock, it's not danger, but a painful area last game against Everton. Yeah, it's not great."
Analysis: Khusanov has been seeing a ton of starts recently, but will have to take a break Saturday, as the defender deals with a knock. The good news is this appears to be minor, warranting a return in the next week. Plus, the club gained back Ruben Dias to the bench, so they still have some backup defensive cover if needed.
