Pep Guardiola has warned that Manchester City players may need to push through pain due to a growing injury crisis within the squad. With nine first-team players potentially sidelined for the upcoming match against Bournemouth, the situation is becoming increasingly challenging. Key players such as Rodri, Oscar Bobb, and Kevin De Bruyne are dealing with long-term injuries, while Jack Grealish, Jérémy Doku, and Kyle Walker are unlikely to return before the international break. Additionally, Josko Gvardiol, Savinho, and Manuel Akanji are also doubts for the trip to Bournemouth on Saturday. Guardiola emphasized the need for fit players to step up and play through discomfort, stating, "Sometimes if you have problems, you have to play." The manager's comments highlight the difficult circumstances facing the team as they navigate this injury crisis.

Liverpool has been dealt a significant injury blow as scans have confirmed that Alisson will be sidelined for six weeks due to a hamstring injury he sustained during the match against Crystal Palace on Saturday. The Brazilian goalkeeper was substituted in the 79th minute of the 1-0 victory after experiencing a second hamstring issue this season. Medical tests have indicated that the severity of the injury will keep Liverpool's first-choice keeper out of action until after the international break in November. This setback means that Alisson will miss several crucial domestic and European fixtures in the coming weeks.

In a tightly contested match at Selhurst Park, Liverpool secured a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace, thanks to Diogo Jota's impressive first-time finish.

He remarked, "It's very pleasing to see that even our third goalkeeper can have an impact on our result." Slot also indicated that Alisson's recovery would take a few weeks, adding to the team's challenges moving forward.
