Manchester City welcomes Young Boys Berne this Tuesday for the 4th day of the Champions League group stage (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
From an accounting perspective, Manchester City’s journey in this 2023-24 campaign looks like a long, quiet river. Reigning champion, the British club fell into a group well within its reach. And unsurprisingly, he is at the top of this group with a series of three victories in as many outings.
A new success against Young Boys Berne this Tuesday evening would therefore propel the Cityzens into the round of 16. But Pep Guardiola will need to rotate significantly – and not just by choice. His scoring machine Erling Haaland twisted his ankle and had to leave his place at the break, during the match against Bournemouth (6-1), Saturday in the Premier League.
“ We’re going to practice this afternoon, so I don’t know. I spoke with the doctor and with him. Yesterday he said he felt a lot better, but I don’t know. I will listen to the doctor. If he says he’s not in pain, I’ll consider letting him play. There are plenty of days to recover (before playing Chelsea on Sunday). For now, if Erling doesn’t play, Julian (Alvarez) will play. »
