Man City is at risk of losing key players when they face Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals

The upcoming confrontation with Chelsea has important implications for Man City . The reason is because the FA Cup is one of the good opportunities for the blue half of Manchester to win the title in the current season.

However, before this match, Man City is at risk of being at a disadvantage in terms of personnel. Coach Pep Guardiola himself spoke up about this issue:

“We had a difficult match against Real Madrid, having to play for more than 120 minutes. The players worked at very high intensity for a long time.

Man City still has to wait to see whether Haaland and De Bruyne will be able to play against Chelsea in time

Haaland had a muscle problem and that was the reason he couldn’t play in extra time. Meanwhile, De Bruyne lost his physical strength and felt exhausted after suffering an injury that lasted for 5 months.

The medical team told me that we need to wait and see how Haaland recovers. We don’t have much time for players to recover. That creates challenges for the players. They are humans, not machines. There will be times when my players are tired.”

If Haaland and De Bruyne cannot participate in the next match, Man City will be at a significant disadvantage. Remember that the blue half of Manchester has never won against Chelsea in the current season.

On Chelsea’s side, Palmer will be one of the notable figures in the next match. This star has been in very good form since leaving Man City for Chelsea.

Coach Pep Guardiola regretted letting Palmer move to Chelsea: “Palmer asked to leave for two seasons while at Man City. I wanted him to stay. So what can we do? I want Palmer to stay.” because Mahrez decided to leave the club, but then Palmer still chose to leave Man City.

Palmer is special. I didn’t give him as much playing time as I should have. This player is a bit shy but has great potential.”
