2025 Fantasy Outlook
Doku continues in a rotational spot with City after his second campaign at the Etihad, a part of the attack loaded with talent that is subject to changes nearly every match. This had made it tough for the attacker to truly shape out a starting spot, with even more competition after the addition of Omar Marmoush and Rayan Cherki in the past year. However, Doku has still proven to be effective when used, bagging 20 goal contributions in just over 3,000 league minutes with the club. That combined with his top-tier dribbling provides more upside than most on other teams. If he can lock down consistent starts, Doku could be one of the best fantasy values come draft time, but that all depends on starting minutes.
Not training with team yet
Doku (calf) wasn't yet spotted in team training, coach Pep Guardiola said in the press conference. "Jeremy [Doku] not yet."
ANALYSIS
Doku suffered a setback from a previous calf injury against Galatasaray in the Champions League last week and still hasn't returned to team training, raising concerns about a potentially lengthy absence for the Belgian dribbler. Doku is likely targeting a return to team training next week in the best case scenario, with hopes of being available before the end of the week against either Fulham or Salford City FC. That said, the medical staff are expected to take a cautious approach to avoid triggering a more significant setback. Until he is back to full fitness, Antoine Semenyo and Rayan Cherki are likely to see increased minutes in the attack for the Citizens.

Could miss two weeks
Doku (calf) suffered a similar injury to his previous one but is expected to miss less time, which should allow him to return in about two weeks, assistant coach Pepijn Lijnders said during a press conference. "It's similar to last injury. Only that time it was lateral, this one is on the centre. It was 18 days. I think this time it will be a little bit shorter as he's a robust player."

Suffers calf injury
Doku delivered two assists before suffering a calf injury in Wednesday's 2-0 victory against Galatasaray and is set to miss Sunday's clash against Tottenham, coach Pep Guardiola said in the press conference. "[He is] Injured. The calf. He felt something. [Will he miss the weekend] I think so. Not just tonight all season but he has these problems, muscular. We're so demanding but hopefully in March he can be ready. At Real Madrid he was exceptional, in Norway he could not play because of what happened in Norway."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head to Barca on loan
Doku could join FC Barcelona on loan until the end of the 2024/25 season, according to SPORT.
ANALYSIS
Doku hasn't played much for Manchester City this season, and the speedy winger would be open to leaving the club with an eye toward returning to the Etihad Stadium in 2024/25. Barcelona are considering the possibility of making a loan move for the 22-year-old, but they would have to part ways with at least one player first to accomplish the move.
