Pep Guardiola is counting on Kevin de Bruyne at the end of the season. If the Belgian midfielder stayed on the bench during the FA Cup semi-final won against Nottingham Forest (2-0), last Sunday in Wembley, he begins the meeting of the Premier League against Wolverhampton, this Friday evening at Etihad Stadium, at the opening of the 35th day.
As a reminder, the love story does not end very well for the sparkling playmaker, 33 years old, among the Cityzens. The player has not been extended by his leaders and will not even compete in the Club World Cup which begins on June 14 in the United States …
To hope to take 3rd place in the ranking in Newcastle (which has one more point), in a race for qualification in the very disputed champions League, the Catalan coach associated “KDB” with Jérémy Dokyu, Omar Marmoush and Bernardo Silva (who disputes his 400th meeting with the club!).
From Bruyne holder, Haaland on the bench!
Note that Erling Haaland, who resumed training during the week, returns to the sidelines. Jack Grealish, Savinho and Phil Foden are also replacement.
The Man City composition: Ederson – Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O'Reilly – Kovacic, Gundogan – Bernardo Silva, De Bruyne, Doku – Marmoush.
On the Wolves side, the former Ligue 1 players Emmanuel Agbadou, Jeanricner Bellegarde, Marshall Munetsi are holders, unlike Pablo Sarabia and Gonçalo Guedes.
The eleven of Wolverhampton: SA-Semedo, Doherty, Agbadou, T. Gomes, Ait-Nouri-J. Gomes, Andre, Munetsi, Bellegarde-Cunha.
