Nunes, Ndiaye, O’Reilly – Man City injury news and return dates

Manchester City are managing several fitness concerns following their 2-1 Premier League defeat against Aston Villa on Saturday. Matheus Nunes missed the match due to a groin injury, but manager Enzo Maresca indicated he could return for the upcoming game against Brighton. Meanwhile, Iliman Ndiaye was substituted during the second half with cramp after assisting Erling Haaland's equalizer, though Maresca confirmed the issue was not serious.

Nico O'Reilly and Mateo Kovacic both returned to the substitutes' bench against Villa after missing midweek action, making them potential options against Brighton. Long-term absentee Antoine Semenyo remains sidelined with a non-muscular leg injury and is not expected to return until around December.
