Rayan Cherki Injury: Late call against Newcastle

Cherki (knock) will be a late call for Wednesday's Carabao Cup second leg against against Newcastle United, coach Pep Guardiola said in the press conference. "[Cherki] has a knock, we will see today how he feels."

Cherki is dealing with a knock picked up in the last match against Tottenham and will be a late fitness call ahead of Wednesday's Carabao Cup second leg against Newcastle United. The Frenchman will be evaluated after Tuesday's final training session to determine whether he can make the squad. If he needs time to recover and can't answer the call, Tijjani Reijnders is expected to take on a larger role in the attacking midfield.
